Academia Meets Industry seminars are activities aimed to stimulate discussion between academia and industry managers and practitioners. We believe in the need for the industry to play an active role in this discussion to help to shape the academic research agenda that would reflect their pressing and emerging issues. The first Academia Meets Industry seminar will take place in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of STU in Bratislava on the 28th of February 2023, at 15:00. During the seminar, the FrontSeat project will be presented, and members of the industrial council will be introduced. After that, the discussion and termination of the negotiation will follow.
