The new revolution of Generative AI models
Starting with an introduction to deep neural networks, to the basic concepts behind transformers, CLIP and diffusion models, we will explore the foundations, basic possibilities, current limitations, and the future of a new generation of AI tools able to boost our writing, designing, modeling and other till now only human skills. Examples using cutting-edge tools will be explored. Jordi Linares, Isabel Ferri Mollá & Juan Jesús Izquierdo

Development of an iOS Learning App
As a development project I am implementing an iOS Learning App for students (to learn a specific topic of Operations Research). In this lecture / workshop I will give an overview over the development stages / challenges / specific topics of the Apple ecosystem and what things to consider while developing an app. Some aspects are harder to get them work, some are not. And only some of them are related to programming. So, many challenges are beside of the programming part. This session is mix of a lecture and a workshop. Students should work in groups and discuss together and with me. No programming skills are required. Daniel F. Abawi

Lightroom Classic - an introduction to the possibilities for creatives
Lightroom Classic is a very powerful raw converter, database and organisational tool for every professional in the creative field. In this course we'll look at how to organise images (import/export & Library module), talk about the newly introduced Artificial Intelligence for developing images (and synching them over large amount of images) in the Develop module and the creative tools the Print module offers us. The workshop will consist of both theory and practice (exercises). Jürgen Doom

Cross Cultural UX Research
More and more products and services are designed for international audiences. Even if the product or service is used in one country, people still have multiple cultural backgrounds that influence their expectations and perception of our product or service. When designing products or services it is important not to stereotype and to be aware of your own biases. In this interactive lecture full of tips and examples, you will learn more about the challenges and opportunities for UX designers to design in a cross cultural way. Saskia Best & Sylvia Delissen

Design Thinking Workshop
Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process that teams use to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. Involving five phases—Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test—it is most useful to tackle problems that are ill-defined or unknown. This workshop will give the students the opportunity to use the concepts behind design thinking in a practical case. By using a wide variety of methods, students will gain knowledge concerning users, which will lead to better solutions. Eva Sørum Poulsen

Intelligent agents on gaming
Intelligent agents aim to develop its own behavior using simple rules in the local environment. The session will introduce the concept of intelligent agents system trough examples in a practical workshop oriented develop simulations that express a complex collective behaviour using a netlogo a powerful yet simple to learn tool.

Why you should care about UX Design?
If you want to create a digital product, whether it is a mobile app, a game, a website or any digital platform, you must take into account the potential users, their needs and how they will interact with the interface for your project to be successful. In this workshop, we will learn how to include UX practices in the digital product development process with practical exercises. Rosó Baltà Salvador

Robotics with Javascript
Javascript was originally limited to simple dynamic effects in web pages. Since
then, it has gone throught an incredible evolution: today, you can use it to build
about anything - from web apps, server scripts or cloud applications, and even power
IoT and Robotics!
In this workshop, we'll experiment with communicating to microprocessors from the
browser using the Javascript USB API.

Exploiting Smart Contracts
Blockchain technology, which implements application such as the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is considered very secure due to its complex cryptographic procedures. In recent years, smart contracts have also been increasingly realized with the technology. However, these have been exploited several times due to their special implementation despite the underlying secure technology. This course presents famous cases, shows the reasons for the exploits and gives recommendations for the secure development of smart contracts. Tobias Fertig & Andreas Schütz
