Title: Special Session - Daniel Smith, EPRSC: unpacking the long term AI for science opportunities

This session EPSRC will provide a short overview of the latest UK strategy relating to AI for Science, and explore, via a facilitated session, the long term opportunities and how these can be best realised. Specifically, we will explore what partnerships, capacity building and interventions are required within engineering and physical sciences related disciplines such that the UK can fully realise the long term benefits, particularly for breakthrough scientific discoveries.This will both consider those in the community already working in this area and how we may best facilitate broader engagement with others.
