# Event Details - **Event Name**: Reinforcement Learning – Introduction - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: AI Workshop | How Agents Learn by Trial and ErrorAbout this EventMost AI systems learn from existing data. But what if no data exists? And what if even humans don’t yet know how to solve the problem in question?In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will explore how Reinforcement Learning (RL) enables machines to learn from experience through trial and error, guided only by rewards. Hands-on coding exercises will demonstrate how interaction replaces supervision and how feedback drives "intelligent" behaviour — much like learning in animals and humans.You will learn how agents interact with their environment, make decisions, and improve over time. The workshop uses interactive and practical formats to build an intuitive understanding of key RL concepts such as agent–environment interaction, the exploration–exploitation trade-off and the role of reward design.The workshop provides orientation in a field that plays a central role in domains such as robotics, logistics, control tasks and game development.RequirementsBasic knowledge of Python is recommended. No prior experience with Reinforcement Learning is required. This is an introductory workshop and not suited for participants with existing RL knowledge.Please bring a laptop to the workshop.Registration & participationRegistration is binding. If you are unable to attend, please cancel your ticket in good time to allow other participants to take your place.Important InformationPhotographs, audio recordings and films will be made during the event.
