🔹Solidarity with Ukraine
BAYHOST declares its solidarity with its cooperation partners in science and higher education, grantees and alumni from Ukraine and condemns the Russian attack on Ukraine.
The Russian attack on Ukraine harms the successful and friendly cooperation with partner institutions in both Ukraine and Russia that has grown over many years.
Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian researchers, students and alumni and their families.
In future, BAYHOST would like to do more to promote student exchange and academic cooperation with Ukraine within the scope of its possibilities.

Visit to the Odesa National Polytechnic University (OPNU) at THA
Two representatives from the partner university, Prof Mykhaylo Lobachev, Director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and Prof Viktoriia Kryvda, Head of the Doctoral Department at OPNU, visited the Faculty of Informatics and Data Science at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences in November 2024. The focus was on discussions about planning joint activities for the coming years as well as visits to the Faculties of Informatics and Data Science, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and Process Engineering. It was not just about the traditional exchange at the faculties, but rather about concrete measures in research and teaching that are already underway.

Use of AI in the university research and teaching process
Experiences of Odesa Polytechnic National University (OPNU) and Augsburg University of Applied Sciences (THA)
AI is a key technology of digitalisation with numerous fields of application and is a very dynamically developing field of research.
This technological breakthrough is the most important factor in the development of modern society and is shaping its future. The unique potential of AI systems in all areas of human activity is enormous. The interaction is obvious: we are changing the world with AI and AI is changing our world.
