EVENTS
iRights.Law Workshop: "Copyright in Research: Using, Sharing, and Publishing Research Data"
On 26 October 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm in Berlin-Dahlem, a hybrid workshop led by Dr Till Kreutzer (iRights.Law) will offer practical guidance on copyright, AI, open licences, open science and licensing strategies. The workshop is open to researchers, lecturers, PhD students and academic support staff at the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin), the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU Berlin) and Charité. The last day to register online is 20 October.
Lunch Talk: Machine Learning in Environmental Seismology: Linking Signals to Processes
Josefine Umlauft will talk about her work on "Machine Learning in Environmental Seismology: Linking Signals to Processes". Environmental seismology offers rich but challenging data for time-series machine learning, with weak, overlapping, autocorrelated signals that often need to be combined with other environmental sensors.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
