LINAS End of Year Event

23 July, 2024

On Friday, 21 June 2024, the LINAS doctoral scholars, alongside some of our esteemed academics, gathered to celebrate the end of the academic year with a lunch reception followed by a quiz. This event served as a fantastic way to wrap up the year, providing a perfect blend of challenge and fun that showcased the diverse range of knowledge within our doctoral community. The quiz was themed around our research – which meant that it spanned a range of topics and disciplines. The questions ranged from law (‘List the 4 different levels of risk outlined in the EU AI Act’), to computer science (‘What technique could you use to improve the robustness of your machine learning model?’), to general AI knowledge (‘What is the name of the AI in the "Iron Man" films that assists Tony Stark, later becoming the superhero, Vision?’).

The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as teams brainstormed and debated the answers, each round sparking discussions and friendly competition. It was incredible to see how much everyone has learned and grown over the year. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the moment when the final scores were announced. With only a 4-point difference between the top and bottom teams, it was clear that everyone brought their A-game!

The quiz was a wonderful reminder of the collaborative spirit and shared passion that define the LINAS doctoral programme. Here's to a year of hard work, learning, and camaraderie – and to many more exciting events in the future!
