Artificial Intelligence Morning Session: Understanding, Experimenting and Taking Action

Artificial intelligence is gradually becoming part of our daily lives, whether at work or at home, and is already transforming the way we work, produce, communicate and make decisions.

To help you better understand these developments and identify the opportunities they present, Université Bourgogne Europe is organising an AI Morning on Thursday 15 October 2026, from 9.30 am to 1 pm, in the Polytech Building on the Dijon campus.
