CAIMed looks back on a successful participation in the first conference of German AI service centers (KonKIS 2024) The event on September 18 and 19, 2024 in Göttingen brought together stakeholders from the fields of computing infrastructure and AI research and provided a wide-ranging platform to present CAIMed's research work on artificial intelligence and causal methods in medicine. 

Wolfgang Nejdl, CAIMed spokesperson, addressed the participants at the opening of KonKIS 2024. He highlighted the central role of AI service centers such as KISSKI (AI service centre for critical and sensitive infrastructure) for research into personalized medicine and emphasized how important the exchange between the AI service centers and CAIMed is for the further development of personalized medicine. 

The focus of participation was the exchange with other researchers and institutions. Valuable new contacts were made and opportunities for future cooperation were discussed through intensive talks and discussions. A recurring point of discussion with CAIMed mentor Prof. Dr. Niels Grabe was the need to ensure data security and the protection of sensitive patient data while providing access to clinically relevant data. This data is crucial to improving AI-based predictions, such as patient response to cancer therapies, and advancing personalized medicine. 

Participation in KonKIS 2024 strengthens CAIMed's commitment to advancing innovative approaches in healthcare and intensifying collaboration with national and international partners. Through active dialog with other researchers, CAIMed is helping to provide new impetus for research and to further develop the transfer of artificial intelligence into medical applications in a targeted manner.
