The 5th LASIGE Forum, organized by the LASIGE PhD Student Commission, took place on 10 July 2025 at Ciências ULisboa.

Our invited speakers, and LASIGE integrated members, Andreia Mordido, Alex Davidson, Isabel Neto, and Nuno Garcia shared their enthusiasm for their ongoing scientific work and were welcomed by LASIGE Executive Commission (Alysson Bessani and Tiago Guerreiro).

Then it was time to debate on “AI + Europe: The role of universities and research institutes in the European ambitions for AI”, with the discussion panel (LASIGE Advisory Board: Elena Simperl, Marc Dacier, Meredith R. Morris, Michel Dumontier, and Pedro Bizarro) and moderated by Cátia Pesquita.

We strongly congratulate the members of the LASIGE PhD Student Commission, David Gonçalves, Laura Balbi, Daniel Reis, Joel Samper (Sam), Maryam Lofti, and Bakary Badjie for their commitment and contribution to another successful event!
