Dear Al Professors, Postdocs or Senior AI researchers,

 in the framework of the AI4Media EU project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020, together with the ICT48 projects ELISE, VISION, HumanE AI NET and TAILOR, we have organized the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA) aiming to become a reference initiative for AI education in Europe and implement mechanisms for inter-university sharing of AI educational assets at PhD-level. As part of the program, AIDA offers a series of courses on Artificial Intelligence and related fields given by distinguished lecturers. 

AIDA had an excellent AI course offer in the past 3 years: 41 short courses and 41 semester courses with more than 3300 registrants.

This semester (Fall 2024/winter 2025) AIDA offers an exciting selection of short, semester courses and web-lecture series designed to deepen your knowledge and skills.

Below is a list of the scheduled courses for this semester offered by top AI Universities:

*          Constraint Programming

*          Big Data Analytics for Natural Disaster Management (NDM)

*          Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Industrial Infrastructure Inspection

*          Artificial Intelligence, digital markets and consumers

*          Large Language Models Development with Python and Hugging Face

*          Advanced Computer Vision

*          Digital Image Processing

*          Computer Vision and Machine Learning – Web Lecture Series 

We invite you to contribute to this initiative for the definition of the AIDA Fall semester program (from Sept 1st, 2024, to January 31st, 2025) by offering courses and becoming part of this vibrant learning community.

You can participate in the AIDA program by offering new or opening-up existing courses targeted to AIDA students^* or other students worldwide according to the participation terms of your own organization. Short/Very Short course formats (5-16 hours) are typically encouraged, while semester courses, or asynchronous mode web courses will be considered as well. Accepted courses will be listed on AIDA website (https://www.i-aida.org/) and will be advertised for free with the support of AIDA dissemination channels. Proposals for courses for the AIDA Fall semester program should be sent to: Prof. Stefano Berretti stefano.berretti@unifi.it, and Ms. Efi Patmanidou epatmanidou@iti.gr  and will be evaluated by the AIDA Committee.

Any qualified Al Professor/Postdoc or Senior AI researcher (PhD holder) can apply to offer a course, no matter if she/he belongs to a host University that is an AIDA member or not. The course lecturer(s) and heir host University/Institution define course fees and other course-related issues.

* AIDA Students (PhD students, Postdoc researchers, possibly qualified MSc students of AIDA Members).
