D.A.R. Continuum: International Conference on Data, AI, Automation, and Robotics
On April 29, 2026, the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics at the Czech Technical University in Prague will host the international D.A.R. Continuum conference, focusing on the intersection of data, artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics. The all-day event will feature lectures, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, R&D professionals, policymakers, funding providers, and the general public. The event will be conducted in English and will focus on current transformations in science and technology amid the growing role of data, AI, and autonomous systems.
Discussions will focus on the relationships between open and FAIR data, the development of artificial intelligence, and the emergence of autonomous and robotic systems that are increasingly entering the human social environment. Attention will also be paid to how these technologies
are transforming the very creation of knowledge, data management, and accountability in science.
Keynote speakers will include Patrick Lambrix (Linköping University) and Maciej Haranczyk (IMDEA Madrid), whose presentations will cover topics ranging from the Semantic Web to the industrial use of FAIR data and self-driving systems.
The program will also include thematic sessions dedicated to responsibility in research and data production in the age of artificial intelligence, as well as a networking segment designed to foster new collaborations across disciplines.
The conference will take place on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM at the CIIRC CTU building in Prague-Dejvice, followed by a networking reception.
You can register until April 22, 2026 HERE. Attendance at the conference is free.

The conference is held with the support of the Czech Academy of Sciences, as part of the OP JAK AMULET project, CIIRC CTU, with the support of the RICAIP, ROBOPROX, and ELLIOT projects, under the auspices of the President and the Scientific Council of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
The coordinator of the AMULET (Advanced MUltiscaLE materials for key Enabling Technologies) project is the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences; other members of the consortium include the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague; the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences; the Faculty of Science at the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem; the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Czech Academy of Sciences; the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and the Faculty of Science at Charles University in Prague, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
The project received financial support from the Jan Amos Komenský Operational Program of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and is co-financed by EU funds.
