Access to event-specific resources can depend on participation, the event stage, and the project. For preparation and hands-on model adaptation, start with [Training Apertus](/learning-and-resources/training-apertus.md), which brings together the Kaggle SFT notebook, the text-focused Apertus checkpoint, baseline evaluation guidance, and current tooling notes. If a course, project, or Hack Apertus allocation includes CSCS compute, use [CSCS Clariden](/external-tools-and-services/cscs-clariden.md) separately for SSH access, Slurm validation, GPU testing, uenv, and the ML Console. ## MAKEathon @ FHNW [MAKEathon @ FHNW](https://makeathonfhnw.ch/) is an annual two-day event at FHNW where students, engineers, designers, and developers build AI prototypes around real company and societal challenges. ## watsonx Agentic AI Challenge Switzerland The [watsonx Agentic AI Challenge Switzerland](https://ch.linkedin.com/company/watsonx-agentic-ai-challenge-switzerland) is an annual student challenge that brings Swiss universities and industry partners together to develop agentic AI solutions for real-world use cases. {% hint style="info" %} Participation, eligibility, schedules, and access to event resources are defined by the respective organizers and may change from year to year. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.aisl.science/events-and-community.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
