The UPC, through the DIH4CAT (Digital Innovation Hub of Catalonia) project, will hold the Workshop on Advanced Digital Technologies (ADT) to promote the digital transformation of companies and public entities.
On April 3, various use cases of service provision for digital transformation through the UPC will be presented, along with how training plays a key role in this process.
Topics for discussion will include:
- How digital technologies can drive the growth of companies and public entities.
- The importance of training in disruptive technologies to address digital transformation.
- The application of AI to improve efficiency and the use of technologies
Workshop Program: Digital Transformation and Competitiveness | On-site session, 9:15 AM to 1:00 PM
The welcome session will be led by Àlvar Vinacua, Vice-Rector for Digital Strategy, together with Sandra Pérez, Coordinator of the Digital Innovation Hub of Catalonia.
Next, Miquel Soriano, Vice-Rector for Teaching and Research Staff Policy and Coordinator of the Cybersecurity Node of DIH4CAT, will present various success stories related to cybersecurity.
Following this, different service provisions for digital transformation will be presented. This session will feature contributions from entities such as the innovation and research laboratory of the Barcelona School of Informatics at UPC (inLab FIB), the Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6), the Centre for Industrial Equipment Design (CDEI-UPC), the MCIA research center, CIM UPC, and CIT UPC.
IDEAI UPC will present the AI Act - AI Literacy, a European initiative that establishes clear principles and guidelines for AI development and implementation, addressing key concerns such as transparency, fairness, privacy, and accountability.
Finally, a roundtable discussion will take place with Luis Romeral (Coordinator of the DIH4CAT Training Plan), Arnau Torruella (Manager of the DIH4CAT Training Program), and Joan Gispets (Vice-Rector for University Policy at UPC/Academic Director of the Polytechnic Foundation of Catalonia - UPC School), where the importance of digital skills for maintaining competitiveness and preparing for future challenges will be discussed.
