University studies in technologies, audiovisuals, video games, business and health focused on the professional world and entrepreneurship

The article argues that this business model could play an important role in the democratization of AI, developing its activities based on principles such as ethics, justice, democratic management, equity, sustainability and advocacy of the interests of people, communities and societies, beyond economic benefits. Considering this premise, the article examines the threats of the current development of AI and proposes some opportunities offered by the social economy so that this development starts from more ethical and democratic criteria and the development of this new technology does not remain only in the hands of a few companies.

 The cited article has been published in number 138 of the CIDOB Journal of International Affairs, December 2024, a monograph entitled "Algorithmic inequality: governance, representation and rights in AI", and is coordinated by Carme Colomina, Daniel Innerarity and Marta Cantero. The issue aims to contribute to the public discussion about the challenges of a democratic AI. Based on specific cases, he reflects on algorithmic governance and the risks involved in AI without firewalls. It aims to offer its own, complex and heterogeneous look at the debate on how and why it is urgent to democratize AI. Created in 1982, the CIDOB Journal of International Affairs is a quarterly publication on international relations, indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.

The event was held in the Foyer of the Congress Center and brought together a hundred people including students and family members. In addition to the Talent scholarships, new students were also given the scholarships to high-level athletes, awarded by the TecnoCampus and the Futsal and CN Mataró clubs, and the Universitat Empresa scholarships, awarded by the Aqua Hotel company . As for the master's degrees, the Impulsa scholarships, which are called by the TecnoCampus, and the Fecunmed scholarship, which is awarded by this medical center, were awarded. Academic excellence is a common feature of all these grants and recognitions.

The event, chaired by the mayor and president of the TecnoCampus, David Bote, also had the participation of the UPF representative on the board of directors of the university center, Pelegrí Viader, and the general director of the TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa, in addition to the addresses of the TecnoCampus university center and the various departments that make it up.

Last Monday, December 9, the TecnoCampus organized an innovative day on the future of education and artificial intelligence, which had the participation of professionals and students from the education sector. During the event, moderated by Jordi Pont, TecnoCampus Project and Research Support technician, attendees explored the impact of Artificial Intelligence in formal education.

The event began with some words of welcome by the general director of the TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa, followed by the first presentation, by Carolina García, from the UOC. Next, the Classroom 2060 project was presented, by Luis Peña, CEO of Lurtis, who spoke about the use of games in education, emphasizing that technology is not always necessary if we do not know how to use it effectively. 

Finally, the results of the Academy4Business project, co-financed by the European Commission and led by the TecnoCampus professor, Màrian Buil, and the TecnoCampus Project and Research Service were presented. The event ended with a round table with students, where experiences were shared and future opportunities were discussed, opening an enriching dialogue between professionals and young people with concerns. 

This event reaffirms TecnoCampus' commitment to innovation and the development of advanced educational solutions.

The agreement, signed last Wednesday by the top managers of tvmataró, Oriol Burgada, and TecnoCampus, Josep Lluís Checa, establishes that, as part of the subject, the reports will become a television program that broadcast by TDT and laxarxa+, so that students develop an academic work with the demands of a working environment, apart from the practice credits already provided for in the studies. 

In this way, the two parties tighten the ties and the exchange of knowledge between the academic and the professional world. The new collaboration framework between TecnoCampus and tvmataró also establishes the channel's participation in final degree projects (TFG), the expansion of the range of internships and participation in presentations. 

In addition to the TecnoCampus Audiovisual Media Degree studies, the second local television station in all of Catalonia has been born in the capital of Maresme. Today, tvmataró is the heir to the old Televisió de Mataró (TVM), a private, non-profit channel, which was born in 1984 thanks to the Collective of Audiovisual Media. The impetus of this organization made Mataró the second city in Catalonia with local television. 

The cyber security expert companies that participated in the presentations are Level4, ESED, Scud Security, Ingram Micro and Rockwell Automation, in addition to key institutions such as the Agència Catalana de Cyberseguretat and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in addition to the Tecnocampus and the City Council of Llinars del Vallès.

About seventy attendees were able to learn first-hand about real cases of cybercrime and practical solutions for business protection. The main objective of the day was to make companies aware of the importance of integrating cyber security as a fundamental pillar in their digitization strategy.

In a context where cyber-attacks are increasing exponentially, especially against small and medium-sized companies, the session emphasized the serious consequences that can result, such as the theft of sensitive information or the loss of critical data. 

During the event, he was presented counseling program subsidized by the Diputació de Barcelona and the TecnoCampus that will be launched in 2025 to help companies strengthen their digital defenses.

In "Robotics & Health", students work with the methodology of design thinking to develop and reflect on an innovative robotic idea possibly applicable to the healthcare field. Through this methodology it is intended that they integrate the creation process that goes from the inspiration based on the need to the implementation phase, always with a focus centered on the human being. 

During the sessions, debates are also held on relevant topics and expert opinions related to different areas of the subject are displayed. These activities allow students to contrast diverse viewpoints, foster deep discussions, and expand their understanding of the applications and dilemmas of robotics in healthcare. To enrich the learning experience, various activities have been organized. 

The students were able to participate in online connections with an expert in service design and innovation established in London and with a surgeon specialized in robotic surgery, as well as visiting the ThinIN 3D accelerator at the TecnoCampus, where they were able to see manufacturing technologies up close advanced 

For next year, new activities and experiences are being prepared to make this subject a unique opportunity to discover and apply advances in robotics in the health field. An innovative proposal that invites students to explore the future of health and to be part of the new technological challenges.

Catalan universities, in collaboration with AQU Catalunya, have today launched a massive survey to find out the opinion of recent graduates about the university studies they have taken. As part of this campaign, which is part of the study Satisfaction of recent graduates, all students who have completed their degrees and master's degrees at Catalan universities and higher art education centers a year ago will receive a survey to evaluate various aspects of their degrees. 

The survey, which has been sent to more than 50.000 people, allows all participants to enter a drawing for a latest generation iPhone, as explained in the rules, which are available here. The main objective of the survey is to know the experience of the students regarding the university studies they have taken so that the centers can introduce improvements. In addition, the results will be published in the EUC Data so that future students have more information when choosing the degree they want to study. 

The Recent Graduate Satisfaction study was launched in 2015. Since then, more than 100.000 people have completed the survey. You can check the results of previous editions and get more information about the project at website of AQU Catalunya.
