ISMTE Local Groups have formed through the efforts of members who would like to meet with peers and colleagues in their local area for networking and discussion. Participation is not limited to ISMTE members, and the only cost associated with participation will be your meal, if the group meets at a restaurant.

• Australia
• Boston, MA
• Chicagoland, IL
• Denver, CO
• Heidelberg, Germany
• Kathmandu, Nepal
• London, UK
• New York, NY

Heidelberg-Rhein-Neckar Region, Germany

Topic: “Machine Learning and Ethics”

Presenter: Simon Kohl, a Computer Science PhD student in the Medical Image Computing Group at the German Cancer Research Center, who has recently also launched a group focused on artificial intelligence.

We hope to generate some good discussion about the effect such technological advances can and indeed are having on scholarly publication, which ultimately will affect editorial offices.
