The University of Pavia has won the call of the European Commission “Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Telecom” designed to offer co-financing to stimulate and support the spread of European Digital Service Infrastructures (DSI) in various sectors, including the design and implementation of specialized master’s programs in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The University of Pavia won with the project “eXplainable Artificial Intelligence in healthcare Management”, which has a double objective:

  • to establish a specific master’s program dedicated to the use of explainable AI in healthcare, in order to promote the development of highly qualified professionals to address the lack of highly specialized digital skills in AI;
  • to develop a network of similar programs at European level, to progressively launch a joint master in “Digital Health Management”.
