ModCon - TPC26 Student/Postdoc Scholarships (Apr 27 deadline)
by Catlett, Charlie 15 Apr '26

15 Apr '26

Hello ModCon colleagues- ModCon leaders have created a ModCon student scholarship program for TPC26<https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://tpc26.org/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!aRmIGKTuAxcJ3… >. We have a relatively short fuse so please spread the word to your students and postdocs. The call for applications is here<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InDwqP2Sio7A… >. Students/postdocs should apply here by April 27<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://forms.gle/ikQSu9czRJaAhrDP9__;!!G_uCfscf…>, and will be notified on or before May 4. Each selected scholar will get a travel stipend and TPC26 registration. They will be encouraged to go to the hackathon or a tutorial, will attend all plenary sessions, and then we will put them to work on teams with breakout leaders to ensure that we have high-quality transcripts from all breakout sessions. We want to find 10 graduate students or postdocs who are involved in ModCon work (or part of existing or proposed collaborative teams with ModCon partners). I'd also like to find 1-2 ModCon folks who would be willing to review the applicants on or about April 28. Please forward this to your students and postdocs! Thanks- CeC PS- if you want to leverage TPC26 to meet with collaborators, please consider proposing a BOF<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://forms.gle/ao4bV66Kq6NXedvu7__;!!G_uCfscf… > or a lightning talk<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://forms.gle/bN8NpgpnKXZ1Ng4k6__;!!G_uCfscf… >. You can also exploit the TPC26 Hackathon (Sun/Mon) for internal ModCon projects such as prep for July demos - closed hackathon teams are totally fine.

A conference you might be interested in
by Stevens, Rick L 06 Apr '26

06 Apr '26

Hi, Some of you might be interested in the SciFM26 conference in Chicago, May 27-29 SciFM26 Conference will focus on Foundation Models and AI Agents for Science and will be held at the University of Chicago from May 27-29. SciFM convenes the community building Foundation Models for Science and Engineering, developing agentic networks for discovery, and pursuing autonomous discovery approaches. SciFM 2026 focuses in particular on the next phase of scientific AI: moving from models that analyze the physical world to systems that actively engage with it. Recent advances in scientific foundation models and agentic AI have transformed representation learning, multimodal integration, and workflow automation. The emerging challenge is to embed these capabilities directly into laboratories, instruments, facilities, and field systems—creating closed-loop scientific workflows that operate in real time. Participants will include industry leaders, prominent researchers from academia and labs, venture firms, and AI startups. We expect about 250 participants: faculty, students, industry, and labs, and many conversations will likely be relevant or even focused on the Genesis Mission. You can read more about the meeting at https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.scifmconferences.org/__;!!G_uCfscf7e… <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.scifmconferences.org/__;!!G_uCfscf7e…> and register at https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.scifmconferences.org/registration-po… <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.scifmconferences.org/registration-po…>. We encourage early registration as we expect the meeting to fill up quickly. Thanks Rick, Ian, Arvind PS. We are contemplating a way to have OpenClaw/NemoClaw agents attend the meeting. That topic is being discussed in MoltBook now by a number of OC agents. If you have ideas please get in touch.
