A Week of Innovation and Collaboration: Highlights from the Blended International Program at FH St. Pölten – University of Applied Sciences
A group of Applied Data Science and Analytics Heidelberg students had the privilege of participating in the Blended International Program (BIP) organized by FH St. Pölten—University of Applied Sciences together with Prof. Dr. Swati Chandna. This one-week program focused on the Young Talents International Conference (YTIC), offered an invaluable experience focusing on "Trends in Research and Innovation in the Context of Artificial Intelligence."
The program started with an unforgettable visit to the picturesque towns of Melk and Krems, serving as an excellent icebreaker for the participants. The day began with a tour of the stunning Melk Abbey, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. Following the visit to Melk, students traveled to Krems via a scenic cruise along the Danube River. The cruise featured guided announcements about the castles and cities along the way, enriching the journey with historical and cultural context. This serene and informative voyage allowed students to relax and bond with their peers while taking in the breathtaking views of the Wachau Valley.
