The Symposium organised by the International Bavarian Research Alliance (Bayfor) in Munich in January aimed at gathering academics, researchers and decision-makers from Québec and Bavaria so as to stimulate synergies and possible co-operations: AI developments, in particular in the field of healthcare, are a priority for both Canada and Bavaria, with massive funding available to support progress in this direction. Axelle Cheney and Dr. Armin Gerl presented IRIXYS in this frame; our network raised a lot of interest from Canadia participants.
