Track / Overview

This two-day Open Track will bring together the PhD students and postdocs working on collaborative research projects between academia and Microsoft via the Swiss
Joint Research Center, MixedReality & AI Zurich Lab, Mixed Reality & AI Cambridge Lab, and Inria Joint Center, their academic and Microsoft supervisors, as
well as the wider research community. This Open Track continues in the tradition of the annual Swiss JRC Workshops where researchers will provide project updates and discuss their research with their supervisors and other attendants. The agenda will be complemented by guest talks from industry on relevant product developments and technologies. The two-day open track will include March 29th – AI (non-Computer Vision), Confidential Computing, Health, Cloud, Systems and March 30th – Computer Vision and Mixed Reality.
