On the 18th of May, 2023, the TechWhiz consortium had its second Transnational Project Meeting. The meeting was held in Maribor, Slovenia, at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor. As has become the norm after COVID-19, the meeting was of a hybrid type to facilitate the remote participation of the project contributors that could not attend the meeting in person.
The Slovenian part of the 24-hour virtual global programming competition IEEEXtreme took place again this year at UM FERI on the last weekend of October, this time for the third time. At the same time, Slovenian teams competed with teams from all over the world in a single world competition, while the overall ranking was also updated live.
On November 30th and December 1st, a kick-off meeting for the Erasmus+ Project Enhancing Inclusive Education in Higher Education Institutions with Artificial Intelligence (AI-ENABLE) was held at the University of Deusto (Bilbao, Spain).
On 22.11.2023 we welcomed visiting researchers from Dalian Minzu University, People's Republic of China.
In the framework of this call, the Erasmus+ programme allowsstudents to complete part of their regular study requirements, practical training, research work or the preparation of a doctoral thesis at the third cycle of studies at a foreign institution in any Erasmus+ programme country instead of at their home institution.
