TU Berlin I Queen’s Lecture 2024
November 13 @ 17:00 – 21:00
| Behind this term hides a series of lectures, on the occasion of the visit of Queen Elisabeth II, on the 27 May of 1965 in Berlin as a present of Great Britain towards the city of Berlin. Each year a renowned British scientist holds a speech regarding his area of expertise. Already one year later on the 26 May 1966 these series of lectures were started.
More than 20 years later, on the 50th anniversary of refoundation of the Technische Hochschule Berlin as Technische Universität Berlin, the British Minister Counsellor Rosemary Spencer announced the resumption of the lecture series. On the 1st of December 1997, the Queen’s Lecture at the TU Berlin was continued. Since then, the series of lectures – whether for economic, cultural or scientific issues – have been an integral part of the cultural program of the TU Berlin. In 2015, the 50th anniversary year of the Queen’s Lecture, it was a great honor for TU Berlin to welcome Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to our university to attend the ceremony commemorating “50 Years of the Queen’s Lecture”. The guests of honor included German Federal President Joachim Gauck, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Michael Müller, Governing Mayor of Berlin.

AI for health cannot be solved using off-the-shelf AI techniques and requires us to fundamentally revisit the problem to develop patient-ready solutions. This leads to new convergence science bringing together foundations of artificial and human intelligence, medicine, and regulation. Professor Dr. Aldo Faisal is going to illustrate his approach with examples from his current research ranging from accelerating personalized drug development, via the UK flagship AI Clinician program, to national-scale digital health solutions, that are overcoming challenges from neurology and pediatrics to infectious diseases and public health. Aldo Faisal is director of science & innovation at the Alan Turing Institute and responsible for the Health Grand Challenge. He is professor of AI & neuroscience at Imperial College London and director of the “UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare.” Professor Aldo Faisal Imperial College London “Human-AI Loops – Data-Driven Pathways to the Future of Healthcare” The event will be held in English.
