Winter School “Discovering the unknown: AI in healthcare, III Edition”
The Winter School, organized by the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Pavia, will deal with topics related to the application of AI in healthcare.
The Winter School, open to Bachelor Degree, Master Degree and PhD students with different backgrounds and interested in the topic, will be held from the 11th to the 15th of December 2023 and will guarantee 3 additional ECTS/CFU credits.
The aim of the Winter School is to provide preliminary knowledge about AI use in healthcare, to support the training of people able to advance the deployment of AI throughout the economy. While extant programs mainly focused either on AI or on healthcare, this Winter School is intended to jointly provide knowledge in these two highly developing fields. More specifically, it would allow participants to learn the opportunities deriving from the applications of AI in healthcare and to analyze opportunities and risks associated with the use of AI in healthcare. Moreover, participants will also deepen their knowledge on the ethical implications of the use of AI and other digital technologies, encompassing the individual and social consequences, fostering decision making. Consequently, it is expected to stimulate participants’ capabilities in making judgments in real life and a new management mindset, eventually promoting skill advancement and careers.
The winter school will be organized with a series of lectures and workshops held by professors coming from different Universities, departments and countries. This heterogeneity allows the achievement of a wider representation and understanding of the topics, as well as comparisons and integration of different perspectives.
Activities will be held in English, in order to allow international participation.
Relevant competences around the use of AI and its application in the context of healthcare management will be provided by different speakers, especially in the following areas:
- healthcare management;
- data mining;
- ethics in AI;
- Technology Enhanced Learning.
The Winter School has an enrollment fee of €300 per participant.
- Students of University of Pavia and/or Illinois Institute of Technology: €150;
- Students enrolled in the School "Data-Driven Healthcare Transformation (DDHT)": €250;
- Students selected through EC2U and/or BIP projects: Exempted.
