European Master in Artificial Intelligence for Connected Industries (AI4CI)

The European Master in Artificial Intelligence for Connected Industries (AI4CI) is a European master programme that responds to a major challenge facing the entire European industrial sector: the need for professionals with expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) applied to connected industries. The programme takes place in in five countries at six universities in France, Germany, Romania, Spain, and Ukraine. 

As AI continues to transform industries around the world, the shortage of professionals with these skills could hinder the European Union's progress towards an industrially competitive position. To address this challenge, the AI4CI project proposes a new curriculum focused on AI for connected industries.
