VGTU took part in the preparation of the application proposal "Development of a Competence-based Study Program in Applied Industrial Data Science" for the ERASMUS+ Key Action 2 - Capacity Building project. During the preparation process the decision was made:  to create a new application proposal next year (topic: “Applied Artificial Intelligence curriculum for business and administration”). The aim of the ERASMUS+ short visit program was to present and discuss teaching materials, compose detailed distribution of work packages for the new project between TU Berlin and VGTU, attend TU Berlin International Week 2019 and improve international co-operation between two universities.
