The project Networking Session of RuleML+RR 2026 aims to bring together relevant projects working in the area of data and AI with particular focus on declarative representations in a broad sense. It will be held as a part of the RuleML+RR 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania from August 24th to 26th. It will be co-located with several events as part of Declarative AI 2026, including DecisionCamp, the Reasoning Web Summer School, and multiple other satellite events of RuleML+RR 2026 (Rule Challenge, Doctoral Consortium, and Industry Track).
The session will provide an opportunity to:
Share knowledge between research and innovation projects operating in the area of data and AI.
Identify potential synergies between the projects, e.g., transfer data and AI technology between projects, joint publications, joint dissemination activities, etc.
Discuss funding opportunities such as Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, ERC, ELLIS, etc.
The session targets research and innovation projects operating at all stages:
Ending (or recently ended) projects, which have results to transfer and/or dissemination of results;
Ongoing projects, seeking collaboration and networking opportunities with external stakeholders and external projects;
Upcoming projects/initiatives, searching for potential new ideas and partners for consortia.
