AI Campus Hub NRW
The FernUniversität in Hagen, in cooperation with the AI Campus, is establishing a regional hub for North Rhine-Westphalia as a central point of contact and networking centre on the subject of artificial intelligence. The AI Campus Hub NRW strengthens North Rhine-Westphalia as a higher education and technology location with digital learning opportunities and a wide range of community activities.
North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, is home to a dense network of universities, educational institutions, businesses, and medical organisations. Our goal is to bring these diverse stakeholders together - each with their own interests and questions about AI - to foster exchange and collaboration. In this process, we identify training and continuing education needs and explore how the AI Campus’s learning opportunities can support them.
Are you looking to develop AI guidelines at your university or integrate AI into your curricula? Do you work in HR and want to strengthen your employees’ AI and data skills? Have you already found suitable offers or are there still important aspects missing? Then join the AI Campus Hub NRW. We look forward to your inquiries about collaboration at ki-campus-hub-nrw@fernuni-hagen.de.
