Instead of limiting discussions to slides and theory, each promising idea was quickly turned into code and preliminary analyses, allowing the group to see first results within hours.

Thanks to his expertise, Prof. Schwede helped the team stress-test their work against the expectations of the broader scientific community. As the team is building a large, shared data atlas, the discussions also focused on when its quality will be sufficient for confident use, and how agent\u2011based AI systems could be leveraged for fully interpretable analysis of this growing dataset in biomedical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">By combining a hackathon\u2011style workflow with close interaction between partners, the meeting in Leuven showed how much can be achieved when concepts, code and people come together at the same time.
