TRR 318 hosts an international conference every year. This year's conference, entitled Contextualizing Explanations, takes an interdisciplinary look at explanations and asks how they can be contextualized to increase their relevance and empower users. The conference will take place on 17-18 June at Bielefeld University and the deadline for submissions is 31 March. 

The first conference was titled "Explaining Machines". It was about XAI from the point of view of social sciences. The second conference was hosted in 2023 and had the title "Measuring Understanding". Its focus was the evaluation and measurement of understanding in different contexts.

Researchers from TRR 318 also attend numerous external international academic conferences, where they give talks, organize panel discussions, and participate in panel discussions and workshops. Below is a list of upcoming conferences, with information on past conferences further down the page.
