We are looking forward to welcoming you to the first HAMLET-PHYSICS Conference/Workshop, to be held in sunny Copenhagen, August 19 - 21, 2024.   The workshop has three main goals: 1. To bring together Danish and international physicists using ML to meet, share ideas, and build community across location and physics specialty 2. To bring domain scientists into close contact with ML experts, to build community across the theory - application bridge 3. To provide a friendly environment for researchers to share best practices, for students to interact with experts, and for other sciences and industry to understand the state of ML in physics

Scientific Program

• Keynotes, plenaries and parallels
• Discussions and (AI-assisted) research speed-dating
• Beer talks and train-ride chats

Social Program

Monday August 19th will feature a reception event around Niels Bohr's Office.

On Tuesday evening August 20th, the workshop will take to the rails: A heritage 1950s Norwegian State Rail diesel locomotive will take workshop attendees from Copenhagen (Østerport Station) to Kronborg Castle in Helsingør (location of Shakespeare's Hamlet tale).

While on board, refreshments will be served, and breakout sessions will occur according to attendees research areas of interest. A visit of Kronborg will be included, along with an open-air conference dinner in Helsingør.
