On 24 May, 980 visitors took the opportunity to visit the IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria and explore several exciting stations: A fictitious disaster exercise, which had to be mastered using VR goggles, was particularly popular that evening. Another highlight: an AI station where books could be scanned and the protagonists of the books asked questions about the story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular attraction was the semi-autonomous robot dog, which used sensors to navigate around the site and wave to visitors. In the robot lab, visitors were able to see first-hand how a collaborative robot system has been enabled by AI using machine learning to automatically recognise objects, pick them up and pass them on in a process chain or stack them correctly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were guided tours every 30 minutes, with the opportunity to ask questions and get to know the employees and management team &#8211; in particular founding president Stefanie Lindstaedt and managing director Gabriele K\u00f6ltringer. One of the most frequently asked questions of the evening was about the new programs at the Technical University: What can you actually study at IT:U, when will the doctoral school or master&#8217;s programmes start? What specialisations are there and what makes IT:U different from other universities? Questions about IT:U as an attractive employer were also a frequent topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted with the great interest in the IT:U and the positive feedback we received during the &#8216;Long Night of Research&#8217;. They confirm that we are on the right track with our interdisciplinary approach and our focus on digital transformation,&#8221; says Founding President Stefanie Lindstaedt about the great success of the Long Night of Research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, what a night!
