CERTIFICATE & 8 ECTS:
The 8th Advanced Course on Data Science & Machine Learning – ACDL 2025 is a full-immersion five-day Course at the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA (Castiglione della Pescaia – Grosseto  – Tuscany, Italy) on cutting-edge advances in Deep Learning, Data Science and Generative AI with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for PhD students, Post-Docs,  junior academics (only up to assistant professors), early career researchers,  and industry leaders (and highly motivated, promising and brilliant Master students / BSc students). Participants will also have the chance to present their results with talks, and to interact with their colleagues, in a convivial, professional and productive environment.

PhD students, PostDocs, Industry Practitioners and Junior Academics (only up to assistant professors)  will be typical profiles of the ACDL attendants. The Course will involve a total of 36–40 hours of lectures, according to the academic system the final achievement will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students (and some strongly motivated Master Student – BSc Student) attending the Course.

Please check the FAQ: https://acdl2025.icas.events/faq/

Language: English.

To participate in the ACDL 2025, all attendants must

(1/2) register for the course (by April 23, 2025) and
(2/2) book accommodation at the course venue, “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA” (by April 23, 2025); all attendants must stay at the “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA”. Booking accommodation at the Riva del Sole must be made exclusively using the accommodation form attached to the registration confirmation email. No other methods must be used (if you use other booking methods the hotel will cancel the reservation).  Finally, it is not possible to extend the stay, the special accommodation rates are valid only for the period of the course, no exceptions will be made. To contact the Riva del Sole Resort & SPA (the course venue) use the following email: booking.events@rivadelsole.it

Once accommodation has been booked at “Riva del Sole Resort & SPA“, the participant must send this information (including the Booking Number) to the ACDL organizing committee (acdl@icas.cc).

ACDL is a residential course, so all lecturers and participants must reside in the same Hotel (Riva del Sole Resort & SPA). No exceptions are made.
