Senior School: Science Meets Industry
The Senior School for Master students and PhD students will take place from January 26-30, 2026 at Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iaşi in Romania.
The Senior School features three specializations.
Creative Convergence: Innovating Industries Together: This option illustrates the synergies that emerge when creativity intersects with collaboration. Participants will navigate key stages of the 5Cos framework: co-ideation, co-valuation, and co-design (as well as co-test and co-launch).
Ethical AI Development: Responsible AI development and deployment are vital to safeguard fairness, human rights, and societal well-being. This specialization equips participants from diverse academic backgrounds with essential insights into AI ethics, grounded in real-world perspectives.
Driving Innovation Through Industry Challenges: This path connects academia and industry directly: student teams tackle concrete challenges provided by industrial partners – in domains such as smart cities and mobility, digitalization, and AI – transforming them into innovative and practice-oriented solutions.
