 ractice-oriented webinar on how RAG works\, what is agentic search\, diffe
 rent retrieval strategies and how to choose tools that suit your business 
 goals.Many enterprises have started integrating AI agents into their workf
 lows. But the retrieval infrastructure powering these agents - vector sear
 ch\, RAG pipelines\, search APIs - was designed for a simpler era. As agen
 ts take on complex research tasks across thousands of documents\, teams ar
 e hitting the same walls: lost context\, compounding hallucinations\, and 
 costs that spiral at scale.This workshop gives technical teams a clear-eye
 d view of what retrieval approaches currently exist\, how they differ\, th
 eir advantages and disadvantages\, and what’s emerging. Grounded in real
  production experience.More specifically\, participants will learnHow retr
 ieval works under the hood of AI agents - from basic keyword search to vec
 tor embeddings to agentic search pipelinesRAG architectures in practice: h
 ow they’re built\, where they work well\, and where they start to break 
 down (context fragmentation\, hallucination propagation\, cost at scale)Th
 e chunking problem: why splitting documents into pieces loses connections\
 , and what the trade-offs are between chunk size\, precision\, and context
 Alternative retrieval strategies: graph-based retrieval\, hybrid approache
 s\, re-ranking\, and how each handles different query complexity levelsCho
 osing the right tool for the job: a practical decision framework for match
 ing retrieval strategy to business requirements\, data volume\, and accura
 cy needsTarget audienceThis webinar especially targets Technical Leads\, D
 evelopers and eyerybody who wants to learn about modern Retrieval techniqu
 es. Particpants are expected to have knowledge of general RAG techniques a
 nd hands-on experience in bullding and planning AI projects. This webinar
  is open and free of charge for all participants from academia\, industry\
 , and public administration from EU and/or EuroHPC JU member countries.Ent
