The talks included presentations by Melissa Paulsen (Programs Director, Pulte Institute for Global Development, University of Notre Dame, USA), Abdelmalik Bachir (Director of the National School of Artificial Intelligence), and Ahmed Medeghri (Director of the National School of Mathematics) about the collaboration project. This was followed by plenary sessions presented by Nitesh V Chawla (Director of the Lucy Institute for Data Science, University of Notre Dame, USA) and James Thompson (Director of the Idea Centre at the University of Notre Dame, USA). Technical presentations were given by professors from the two schools with enriched discussions from all participants.
