SPARK is being designed primarily for current and alumni Schmidt AI in Science Fellows across scientific fields and levels of AI experience.
Intended audience
Scientific diversity is central to the forum.
The program is not centered on one discipline, one AI method, or one career path. It is designed to help participants learn from different forms of expertise.
Alumni Fellows
Community members who can share career experience, domain knowledge, relationships, and lessons from different sectors.
Cross-sector contributors
Selected collaborators who can bring real needs, institutional context, implementation experience, and partnership opportunities.
What we expect to ask
Application details will be announced after the program is finalized.

Your learning goals
Methods, practical skills, collaboration questions, career interests, and the kinds of projects you want to explore.
Your contribution
Knowledge, lived experience, datasets, problems, partnerships, or community perspectives you could bring to the group.

What is still being decided
Planned dates: March 7–12, 2027 (tentative), in Ann Arbor, Michigan. March 7: participant check-in only. March 8–12: main program. Dates, eligibility, cohort size, specific venue, travel support, accommodation support, selection criteria, and application deadlines await final confirmation.
Please wait for official details. Do not make travel arrangements or submit sensitive information by email. Applications, mentorship preferences, travel, dietary information, and accessibility requests will use an approved secure form rather than this public repository.
