Call for Papers
We invite submissions to the 2nd International Conference on AI for Science (AI4Sci 2026), welcoming abstracts on applications of artificial intelligence in and for science, in particular: physics, chemistry, materials science, the life sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences.
AI4Sci 2026 is part of the AI4Science Week and co-located with the 29th International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2026). AI4Sci features separate AI4Physics, AI4Chemistry&Materials, AI4LifeSciences, and AI4Humanities&SocialSciences tracks dealing with applications of AI and Machine Learning in a variety of different fields. Contrary to DS 2026, the AI4Sci tracks are non-archival and also suited to ongoing or already published work.
Aims & Scope
This year’s conference focuses on the above topics and therefore features the following tracks:
- the AI for Physics Track (AI4Physics),
- the AI for Chemistry and Materials Science Track (AI4Chemistry & Materials),
- the AI for the Life Sciences Track (AI4LifeSciences), and
- the AI for the Humanities and the Social Sciences Track (AI4Humanities & SocialSciences).
Each track has its own program chairs and program committee (see the tab on "Organization").
Submission Procedure
Submitted abstracts must be written in English and should not exceed 500 words, excluding references. The reviewing process will be single-blind. Thus, the submitted abstracts should not be anonymized.
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
Please submit your contributions at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AIforSci2026/. When submitting, please choose one of the following tracks: AI4Physics, AI4Chemistry & Materials, AI4LifeSciences, or AI4Humanities & SocialSciences.
The timeline for AI4Sci 2026 is as follows:
- Abstract submission deadline: June 12st, 2026
- Notification of acceptance or rejection: July 21st, 2026
All deadlines are 23:59 AOE.
