AI4SD ran a hybrid residential summer school from the 20th-24th June 2022 at the University of Southampton. This summer school was an introduction to basic python programming, different areas of machine learning including mathematical foundations for ML, classification and clustering, kernel methods, introduction to deep learning and case studies in chemistry including reinforcement learning in chemistry. There were also talks to upskill scientists in other relevant areas including Group Management, Presentation Skills, Research Data Management, Referencing, LaTeX, GitHub and Ethics.

The summer school included a hackathon where students were able to compete in teams to solve the same problem in the best way. Group presentations took place on the Friday and prizes were awarded to the winning teams.
