Workshop Vision
A focused environment for interdisciplinary dialogue.
COMPASS is designed as a single-room workshop where keynote framing and doctoral-led panels move through predictive methods, networks, and legal-ethical debate without splitting the audience into parallel tracks.
01
Unified Scientific Arc
The programme flows from AI Methods to complexity and innovation, ending with normative and ethical reflections, ensuring a shared context for all participants.
02
Doctoral Leadership
Chaired by PhD candidates with invited international experts, the workshop fosters a peer-to-peer exchange between established scholars and emerging researchers.
03
Designed for Comparison
Every session includes dedicated discussion time and roundtables, prioritizing the exchange of ideas over formal presentations.
