The visit from the reigning European champions and Dutch giants is a testament to the progress Reading have made in their pioneering AI department, established a year ago by new owner Rob Couhig. Reading's Head of AI, Stuart Fenton, said: "We're doing some really good things here but it's not in isolation. We want to hear what some of these top teams around the world are doing."
The summit will see Reading share their work on AI in football and hear from other top teams about their experiences. The event will also launch a new programme between Reading and Setanta College on sports technology and artificial intelligence.
