European Agentic AI Bootcamp

Agentic AI employs sophisticated reasoning to solve complex problems, utilizing data from multiple sources to analyze, strategize, and complete tasks independently. There are many powerful building blocks that developers and researchers can use to enable and accelerate the development and deployment of their agentic AI workflows.

The European Agentic AI Bootcamp covers some of these powerful tools, including Agent Skills, which are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover to grant them domain expertise and new capabilities; Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol providing a standardized method for connecting AI models to various data sources and tools; NVIDIA® NIM™, a set of easy-to-use microservices that provides pre-optimized models and industry-standard APIs for building powerful AI agents, co-pilots, chatbots, and assistants; LangGraph, an orchestration framework for complex, stateful, and cyclic workflows for AI agents; and NeMo Agent Toolkit , an open-source library and framework designed to build, evaluate, and optimize production-ready, autonomous AI agents.

Attendees are guided through the creation of Agent Skills, HTTP-based MCP clients/servers, and the integration of both technologies into LLM workflows orchestrated with LangGraph and NVIDIA NeMo™ Agent Toolkit, powered by NVIDIA NIM microservices. Attendees will then apply these learned skills in a hands-on challenge to modify an existing LLM workflow.

Why join this bootcamp:

   Build a practical AI agent for a real use case.     
   Learn reusable patterns your team can adapt quickly.     
   Reduce the risk of investing in the wrong architecture.     
   Understand how to evaluate quality, latency, and performance early.     
   Get hands-on guidance.

Target audience

SMEs and startups are especially encouraged to join this bootcamp.

This bootcamp would especially benefit the participants who are interested in optimizing and accelerating their applications further with domain experts by their side at the upcoming European AI Hackathon which is open for application submissions.

Organizers

This Bootcamp is co-organized by Austrian Scientific Computing (ASC), the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), the Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH (Cyfronet), OpenACC organization, and NVIDIA for AI Factory Austria AI:AT, HammerHAI, and Gaia AI Factory and will host a virtual European Agentic AI Bootcamp starting 20 July, 2026 and concluding 22 July, 2026.
