The school fosters cross-disciplinary exchange and discussion, both through formal courses given by internationally recognised experts and through the many opportunities for informal interaction in a relaxed mountain setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school is primarily aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers, though participants from industry and academia at all levels are very welcome. Attendees benefit from an immersive programme that bridges theory and practice, encourages new collaborations, and provides a broad perspective on the state of the art at the intersection of social AI, human-robot interaction, and multimedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The venue offers excellent opportunities for <strong>outdoor activities and informal networking<\/strong> amid the scenic Vercors mountains, making SoRAIM as much a scientific retreat as a winter school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SoRAIM&#8217;27 at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dates:<\/strong> February 1\u20135, 2027<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue:<\/strong> TBA &#8212; somewhere in the mountains near Grenoble.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Format:<\/strong> Lectures, hands-on sessions, and informal networking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Audience:<\/strong> PhD students and early-career researchers (industry participants welcome)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confirmed Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/soraim\/speakers-courses\/#andre\"><strong>Elisabeth Andr\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 University of Augsburg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/soraim\/speakers-courses\/#calinon\"><strong>Sylvain Calinon<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Idiap Research Institute &amp; EPFL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/soraim\/speakers-courses\/#celiktutan\"><strong>Oya Celiktutan<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 King&#8217;s College London<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ai.honu.io\/\">Alexandre D\u00e9fossez<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Kyutai<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/~morency\/\">Louis-Philippe Morency<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Carnegie Mellon University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Additional speakers to be announced.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SoRAIM&#8217;27 is supported by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We would be delighted to welcome you to the Winter School on Social Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Multimedia (SoRAIM&#8217;27), taking place from February 1st to 5th, 2027, somewhere in the mountains near Grenoble.
