Friday, 12 May 2023 UP takes part in the T4EU week in Alicante, Spain

This week, the University of Alicante was hosting the international T4EU Week, a doctoral symposium and a round table on digital transformation, within the framework of the European alliance Transform4Europe.

The event was attended by more than 200 people from 8 countries.

Students, doctoral students and teaching staff from the different universities could join four specialisation workshops in digital transformation, which were addressing current issues such as the management of massive data, the use of technologies for second language learning, the retrieval of musical information or how to become a Knowledge Entrepreneur.

The Doctoral Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (11 and 12 May) was organised jointly with the Doctoral Programme in Computer Science of the University of Alicante. The University of Primorska, soon to be full member of T4EU, was represented by five doctoral students to participate in the event: Niki Hrovatin, Domen Vake, Uroš Sergaš, Maheshya Weerasinghe and Matej Arsen Golubovikj.

Assoc. Prof. Matjaž Kljun and Assoc. Prof. Klen Čopič Pucihar from the Department of Information Sciences and Technologies at UP FAMNIT attended the round table, where the numerous legal challenges of digital transformation were discussed. Our researchers introduced their lines of research related to this field of study to explore possibilities for collaboration with other international partners.

Besides the core programme, the participants also had the opportunity to various cultural activities, such as a visit to the emblematic Santa Bárbara Castle or a visit to the Alicante Casino.
