In our weekly AKSW Colloquium, we present research, technologies and tools of the Semantic Web. The colloquium is open to the public and we welcome interested students, colleagues and industry partners to experience bleeding edge work-in-progress presentations and discussion rounds as well as talks by invited experts of our AKSW lecture series. Bachelor and Master students will be able to get points for attendance.

If you have questions regarding the AKSW Colloquium, please contact Mohamed Sherif sherif@informatik.uni-leipzig.de and Ricardo Usbeck usbeck@informatik.uni-leipzig.de.
