Upcoming Events
Lorenz Hufe - ELLIS PhD Candidate
We're excited to invite you to our 3rd Edition of "Ask Me Anything". Our next guest is Lorenz Hufe, a good friend and one of our founding members here at BLISS. Lorenz is an ELLIS PhD candidate at Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, with a secondary affiliation at the University of Oxford, where he spent the past semester. He works on AI for history with the aim of building machine-learning systems that help historians read, connect, and reason about historical sources at scale. If you're curious about how Lorenz was admitted to the ELLIS Program, what studying at Oxford is like, or how BLISS came about, he'll be happy to answer. Any question about none of the above? Don't worry, no topic is off limits. We welcome students, researchers, and curious minds alike. When: July 7, 2026 at 5:00 PM (CEST) Where: BLISS Discord Server You can drop your questions in advance in our #❓│ask-me-anything channel or bring them live on the day.

About Us
Founded in 2022, our student initiative Berlin Learning & Intelligent Systems Society (BLISS) aims to create a community of students and young professionals
excited about machine learning and AI. Our vision is to provide an environment
to deeply engage with AI research while fostering connections to leading
researchers and industry professionals.
We host many awesome events, including a speaker series, reading groups,
hackathons and social events. We've always been independent from companies
and universities and became a registered non-profit organization in 2022.
You are cordially invited to our events!
