The new "Industrial AI - Foundation Level" certificate

The Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA) was successful in the competition for project funding from the “digital.ING II” grant program and will receive 100,000 euros. In the “Industrial AI” certificate program, interested individuals with a college degree or professional qualification can systematically acquire key digital skills in a practice-oriented manner at the THA_akademie.

“Industrial AI” combines expertise from the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg with the requirements of business practice. The goal is to create a program that facilitates knowledge transfer, draws on industry experience, and bridges the gap between production, IT, and data/AI.

The program is aimed at specialists, managers, and experienced professionals who not only want to understand artificial intelligence in an industrial setting but also wish to systematically apply it.

Call for Participation: Expert Panels and Expressions of Interest

To ensure that content and format are precisely tailored to real-world needs, the THA_akademie organizes expert panels. Here, participants can share and collectively discuss practical challenges and needs, specific questions, and typical hurdles encountered in AI projects.
