HACID at the 2025 ISWS

HACID is an official sponsor of the 2025 edition of the International Semantic Web Research Summer School (ISWS), held under the theme “Knowledge Graphs for Reliable AI”.
The ISWS is a prestigious annual event that brings together early-career researchers and leading experts in Semantic Web technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and Knowledge Engineering. This year’s edition focuses on how Knowledge Graphs can strengthen the reliability, transparency, and trustworthiness of AI systems—a mission that deeply resonates with HACID’s vision of hybrid human-AI collective intelligence in open-ended domains.
Why HACID supports ISWS
The HACID team firmly believes that future innovation depends not only on research breakthroughs but also on investing in people. Our sponsorship of ISWS directly supports this by funding student grants that help outstanding young researchers from around the world attend the summer school, as many of whom might not otherwise be able to participate due to financial barriers.
Hence, supporting ISWS aligns perfectly with HACID’s goal to foster next-generation AI research that is responsible, interdisciplinary, and grounded in real-world societal challenges.
A Shared Mission: Reliable AI Through Knowledge Graphs
The summer school’s 2025 theme “Knowledge Graphs for Reliable AI” dovetails with HACID’s research agenda. Knowledge graphs are key to context-aware, explainable AI systems, and central to HACID’s approach for enabling co-intelligence between humans and machines. Sponsoring ISWS reinforces our commitment to developing AI technologies that are:
- Transparent
- Human-centred
- Robust and verifiable
Join Us in Building the Future
We are excited to help build the bridge between foundational research and transformative innovation. Through this sponsorship, we hope to empower students and researchers who will shape the future of AI, data, and robotics in ways that are collaborative, open, and FAIR.
