On 3-4 November 2025, Doctoral Candidates Katerina Drakos and Eva Paraschou participated in the AI in Science Summit 2025 (AIS25) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The summit served as a premier gathering for scientists, industry leaders, investors and policymakers to discuss how AI is revolutionising scientific discovery and how Europe can spearhead this shift through a responsible, values-driven approach.

In this interview, we speak with Santiago Hurtado, M.Ed., research assistant and doctoral student at TUM. He discusses what drew him to alignAI, the perspective his institute contributes, and how he supports doctoral candidates while giving them room to pursue their own ideas.
