I'm happy about the establishment of MAIN as a student association, because that very much helps to have the continuity in many ways that you are doing.

What we do

This is how we do it

Panel Talks

We bring industry experts, professors, founders, and researchers into the room to talk about what's actually happening in AI right now. Every panel includes a Q&A session where students drive the conversation - so it never just feels like a lecture.

Hands-on Workshops

Partners from industry and academia teach students how to use real AI tools and workflows. You leave with something you can immediately apply in your own projects, studies, or future career.

Hackathons & Build Nights

Companies and partners bring a real challenge, and students build creative solutions in a short amount of time. Real problems, real outcomes - and sometimes a product that actually ships.

The team

The people behind MAIN.

Made by students, for students.

Active members

After completing its first recruitment round, MAIN now has a team of 23 active members spread across four committees. These are the students shaping what MAIN becomes from the inside.
