From around the Turing

  • 2025 Open Source AI Fellowship

    • Launching as a pilot in 2025, the Fellowship will offer exceptional researchers and technologists the opportunity to spend 12 months as a Fellow with The Alan Turing Institute (the Turing), embedded within the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and anchored with the Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (i.AI). Fellows will apply their expertise in Specialised AI Model Development and Secure Systems Engineering to develop high-profile open-source use cases for the UK Government.

  • MultimodalAI’25 (Third Workshop on Multimodal AI), Barbican Centre, London, 16–17 Sept 2025
    • This two-day in-person workshop is hosted by the UK Open Multimodal AI Network (UKOMAIN), a £1.8M EPSRC Network Plus project.
    • Spaces are limited, and registration will close when full or by 31 August 2025 (whichever comes first).
    • Register for the workshop 

  • Call for Papers: Open Research Infrastructures and Resources for Communication and Media Studies (DL Abstracts: 1-15 September 2025)
    • Deadline for Abstracts: 1-15 September 2025 | Deadline for Articles: 15-31 January 2026 - read full call for papers
    • Media and Communication, peer-reviewed journal indexed in the Web of Science (Impact Factor: 2.7) and Scopus (CiteScore: 5.8), welcomes article proposals for its upcoming issue "Open Research Infrastructures and Resources for Communication and Media Studies".
    • Many scholars and initiatives in communication and media research have called for a “cultural shift” in our discipline toward more open, reproducible, and replicable research practices and better access to infrastructures and shared research resources. This thematic issue aims to contribute to these efforts by providing a forum for debate and exchange on open research infrastructures for communication and media research, with a focus on non-commercial resources following open science principles.  
  • Third Workshop on Multimodal AI, University of Sheffield, 16-17 September 2025, 09:00 - 17:00
    • Hosted by UKOMAIN, this in-person event brings together researchers and practitioners to explore innovations in combining text, images, sound, and more.
    • Expect keynotes, talks, posters, panel discussions, a photo competition, and funding briefings—plus prizes and travel bursaries.

  • AI and Defence for Maritime: Breakfast Briefing, 17 September 2025, 09:30 - 11:30
    • London International Shipping Week 2025 (LISW25) is one of the largest global maritime showcase events throughout the year. LISW25 will comprise over 350 official industry events and functions offering a huge array of networking and engagement opportunities for leaders across all sectors of the international shipping industry. 
    • The focus of this event will be to break down silos, and foster communication across a diverse group of people (regulators, insurers, developers, users), and throughout the AI lifecycle. We will explore the current state of AI in relation to defence across the maritime sector.
