Webinar
How does digitization or the use of data affect our daily lives? At this webinar a panel of experts from the Technical University of Košice will go through a series of presentations explaining how digitization or the use of data affect our day-to-day lives. From health to the Arts and IT sector, digitalisation contributes to improving our lives. Additionally, we will discover the potential of data in next-generation procurement. This multidisciplinary approach will broaden our horizons and change our attitudes in different areas of life.
Current public and private procurement generate a huge amount of data with different quality levels. The main challenge is how to use data for new data services development for decision making support or full automation of procurement processes. On his presentation Radoslav Delina will provide the main challenges and the preliminary results of his research team and will look for potential research cooperation and experiences related with the transformation of data science into commercial exploitation. The focus was be given on following issues:
This presentation dealt with the latest trends in digital design and manufacturing in the filed of medicine, especially in the field of implantology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing have been used for more than 10 years in medicine with the trend of creation of manufacturing hospitals and cellular biomanufacturing. Experiences with applications of additive manufacturing in medicine will be presented, where more than 350 custom made implants and 40 000 implants in series were manufactured and implanted worldwide by spinoff company established at the Technical University of Košice.
Media art thinking in terms of actual topics within the multi-disciplinary platforms and (un) expected cross-disciplinary solutions. The complex art projects bring besides the technological challenges also creative individual strategies based on the real time responsivity or participation. They can be digital, virtual or even immersive, but in the very physical interaction, too. The process is often influenced by many significant inputs including the ecology or sustainability. Some of the highlighted concepts can be identified as prototypes of the CORE Lab currently based at Faculty of Arts, Technical University of Košice.
