ASTRA 2026: Applied Science & Tech for Real-World Apps

This intensive, hands-on summer school introduces the emerging design space of agentic workflows and autonomous organisations—systems in which AI agents can plan, coordinate, and execute complex work across enterprise tools and teams.

The program combines:

• Rigorous MIS and BPM perspectives on governance, accountability, value creation, and organisational control, and

• Practical labs and real-world case discussions focused on orchestration, tool access, observability, evaluation, and risk management.

Participants will explore the shift from “assistive copilots” to workflow-completing agents, learning how to design agentic systems that are useful in practice and defensible under real organisational constraints.
