Since 2022, the TRR 318 has been organizing an annual international scientific conference. This year's 3rd TRR 318 Conference: Contextualizing Explanations is specifically dedicated to the question of how explanations of AI decisions can be contextualized. The first conference took place in 2022 under the title Explaining Machines and focused on the social science perspective on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). The second conference in 2023 was entitled Measuring Understanding and dealt with the evaluation and measurement of understanding in various contexts.

TRR researchers are also represented at external international scientific conferences with lectures, panel discussions and workshops. Below is a list of upcoming conferences, with information on past conferences further down the page.
