Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (MERIT short-term course)
MERIT is a project, co-funded by the EU under the Digital Europe Programme, and implemented by four European universities, SMEs, digital innovation hubs and research centres. The European project proposes several new and one updated master study programs in the field of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and internet of things. It also provides funding for students in form of student grants to increase the study availability and seep of perfection around advanced digital skills. Through MERIT students can connect—and work with—academics and industry professionals across Europe. Placement opportunities and short-term visits are available to them.
To support faster upskilling in certain areas, we are offering short-term courses. We are excited to announce the launch of our new short term-course, Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence that is organised within the framework of the European MERIT project. This short-term course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the world of AI and is perfect for individuals with a bachelor’s degree looking to deepen their understanding of AI and its applications. The participant of the short-term courses will join the group of master student for one course and will be able to benefit from the studies as well as collaboration opportunities. You can review testimonials of the June edition here.
