BayFIA at Science Day 2026 in Nuremberg

AI and Robotics – Humans, Machines, Opportunities

Science Day 2026 in Nuremberg explores what artificial intelligence and robotics can achieve today – and the opportunities they create for research, business and society.

The scientific hosts of Science Day 2026 are the Nuremberg Institute of Technology Georg Simon Ohm and the University of Technology Nuremberg. The City of Nuremberg is hosting the event at the municipal level. Following previous editions in 2007 and 2014, Nuremberg will host the Science Day for the third time.

The event “Wissenschaftstag der Europäischen Metropolregion Nürnberg” brings together science, business, politics and society. It highlights the region’s research expertise, makes knowledge accessible and asks a key question: How will humans and machines work together in the future?

Join the event and actively contribute to the public dialogue on AI and robotics.
