Summer Showcase and Celebration 2026
10:00 - 17:00 The Nucleus, Thomas Bayes Road, Edinburgh EH9 3FG
The APRIL AI Hub's RAEng Google DeepMind Research Ready Internship Scheme will conclude with a celebration and showcase.
Join us as we come together to celebrate the incredible work happening within APRIL, connect with fellow researchers, and recognise the contributions of our summer interns.
Over an intensive 8-week internship programme, top-tier students guided by leading academics in APRIL have worked on real-world industry challenges spanning material discovery, design automation, verification, modelling, and system optimisation. This showcase offers a unique opportunity to explore how emerging talent is accelerating R&D and de-risking innovation in electronics and hardware.
The day will feature research presentations, a Dragons’ Den-style session where APRIL interns will pitch the outcomes of their projects, and a chance to meet the people who make APRIL truly special beyond their research.
