Cybersecurity is a rapidly evolving field that demands continuous learning, innovation, and collaboration between academia, industry, and public institutions. As part of the MERIT EU project, Cristina Bulat from Digital Innovation Zone conducted a series of interviews with Tiberiu Baraboi, co-founder of Expertware, to explore the role of cybersecurity professionals, the importance of structured ecosystems, and strategies for fostering talent and innovation.

In today’s data-driven era, Big Data and Machine Learning (ML) have emerged as essential drivers of innovation across industries. From optimizing supply chains to advancing personalized medicine, these technologies work hand in hand to unlock valuable insights. Therefore, it is important to understand what those technologies are about and what challenges and possibilities provide the intersection of those two key technologies.

In an increasingly interconnected academic world, opportunities for international collaboration are more accessible and rewarding than ever. A prime example of this took place recently at VILNIUS TECH, where master’s program students benefited from a remote lecture delivered by professor Andrea Aler Tubella from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC). The lecture focused on one of the most pressing and thought-provoking topics in artificial intelligence (AI): bias and fairness.

The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) is proud to announce the acquisition of the TIAGo robot from PAL Robotics. This state-of-the-art robotic platform will serve as a cornerstone for developing advanced skills in robotics and artificial intelligence within the context of the European Union’s MERIT project.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an area of IT departments or tech enthusiasts. Its impact is significant, influencing various sectors from finance and healthcare to transportation and manufacturing.

In September 2024, the first students of MERIT project’s master’s study program “Engineering of Artificial Intelligence” will start their studies at VILNIUS TECH. Those students will start their 2-year journey towards their master’s degree.

In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial engineering and management, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. At TalTech, we have taken a significant step towards this goal by updating and digitizing our Industrial Engineering and Management Master’s study program.

This master’s degree responds to the growing need for digital skills described in theEuropean Commission’s Digital Decade roadmap for 2030. More than 90% of jobs alreadyrequire specific digital skills but the number of digital experts does not keep up with demand.This master’s degree provides training in three key areas of digitalisation: artificialintelligence (AI), cybersecurity and the Internet of Things (IoT), giving students a uniqueopportunity to become well-rounded digital professionals.

The development of information technology (IT) in the 20th century significantly impacted how enterprises and institutions organize work.
