TAPPA stands for Tübingen AI PhD and Postdoc Assembly and is a grassroots initiative to bring together PhD students and Postdocs doing research in AI in Tübingen. It is similar in spirit to a student council: the goal is to enhance the PhD and Postdoc experience within the Tübingen AI ecosystem by addressing common concerns, organizing events, and more.
TAPPA meetings
Usually, we meet on the 1st Thursday of the month, 17:00-18:00.

Tübingen AI Summer Poster Event Upcoming
Dear all, The Tübingen AI Center, the Cluster of Excellence “Machine Learning”, and the ELLIS Institute Tübingen are pleased to invite you to the Tübingen AI Summer Poster Event 2025. The event will spotlight recent ML papers from Tübingen published in top-tier venues.
Tübingen Talks Tech! Science Slam – AI Edition
Tübingen is world-renowned for its cutting-edge AI research — but do you actually know what our scientists are working on? At this Science Slam, PhD students and postdocs from the University of Tübingen will take the stage to present their research in 10-minute talks that are anything but boring. From self-driving cars and robotics to deep learning, computational neuroscience, and probability theory — this is your chance to discover the world behind the buzzword AI. You get to decide who wins: your applause determines the best presentation of the night!
Failure Friday
Failure Friday is back! For those who haven’t heard: Failure Friday is a special edition of the Friday Talks where we invite speakers to talk about their experiences with failure. The idea is to normalise the fact that mistakes and failure are a natural part of research, and that’s okay. We hope that sharing experiences, and simply talking about it, will be a step towards that.
Friday Talks Are Back
Dear all, We are excited to be restarting the Friday Talks series and would like to warmly invite you to the first session on 24th of January 2025 at 5pm at the AI Research Building (Maria-von-Lindenstraße 6).
Tübingen Pre-NeurIPS Fest Upcoming
Dear all, the end of the year 2024 is coming closer! We would like to celebrate the approaching end of this academic year with the second edition of the Tübingen Pre-NeurIPS Fest, a poster session followed by a festive get-together.
