Wir freuen uns, für das Jahr 2025 die Jahrestagung der DeGBS anzukündigen! Mit einem abwechslungsreichen Programm, international ausgewiesene Sprecher*innen und viel Raum für anregende Diskussionen laden wir Euch herzlich nach München ein.

Die Tagungspräsidentschaft übernehmen Prof. Dr. Kirsten Lauber und PD Dr. Anna Friedl vom LMU Klinikum München sowie Prof. Dr. Horst Zitzelsberger vom Helmholtz-Zentrum München. Die Young Investigator Session am Montagmorgen widmet sich dem spannenden Thema "Innovative Alternativen zu Tierversuchen in der Strahlenforschung" und wird von der jDeGBS unter der Leitung von PD Dr. Johann Matschke gestaltet. Am Mittwochnachmittag wird ein Satellitenmeeting zum Thema „Nachwuchsförderung und Perspektiven in der biologischen Strahlenforschung" stattfinden.
Speziell für die Nachwuchswissenschftler*innen haben wir bei dieser Jahrestagung geplant: Montag - "Wissenschaft" UND Mittwoch - "Karriere" (Satellitensymposium)
Als Tagungsort konnten wir Schloss Fürstenried in München gewinnen, das mit seiner beeindruckenden historischen Atmosphäre einen besonderen Rahmen bietet. Für Übernachtungen stehen vor Ort Kapazitäten für 80 Personen in Einzel- und Doppelzimmern zur Verfügung. Zusätzlich haben wir ein Übernachtungskontingent in einem nahegelegenen Hotel reserviert.

The congress will focus in particular on teamwork within the specialist field of radiation oncology. This is because the importance of cooperation and interdisciplinary exchange is particularly important in order to ensure the best possible care for our patients. At the same time, the topics "Tailor-made, patient-centered, future-oriented" will also be dealt with intensively.

Talk about AI in our space is often about direct application of AI for data analysis or modelling.

However, for most, AI takes predominantly a supportive role in our every day life: asking ChatGPT for a nice phrase, summarizing a few linked studies with NotebookLM or quickly generating a nice picture for a presentation with DALL-E.

But like with every great tool, there are risks involved in the use of AI in our professional life. It may just be that your institution does not allow the use of AI and you get into trouble with your boss if he or she finds out. More severe problems are for example compromisation of sensitive data, legal issues regarding ownership of scientific results or authorship of a thesis or paper.

Therefore, I would love to hear one or more seminars about the supportive role of AI in our scientific work. Potential topics include ...

How can AI make my work easier and improve my results?

Legal regulations around AI - intellectual property and institutional regulations

Data protection - what to tell the GPT?

If you share my interest in this topic, please like and comment. If you have ideas about potential speakers, please share them (because I don't :-D ).
