Become a Partner

WHY BECOME A PARTNER

Shape the next generation of AI and data professionals, and grow with them.

The AI & Data Science Learning Ecosystem brings together the University of Trieste and companies to build a lasting partnership between education, research and industry. It covers the full academic path, from the Bachelor’s in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics to the Master’s in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and the PhD in Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The programme was developed with Trieste’s leading research institutions: SISSA, ICTP, Area Science Park, INAF and OGS.

Joining the Ecosystem means investing in a permanent lab of talent, ideas and collaboration. Partners get privileged access to students and graduates with advanced skills. They also help train future professionals, gain visibility through events and dedicated channels, and co-design training and research activities. All of this happens in a city that is becoming a scientific capital for AI and data.

Three partnership levels

Partnerships last three years. The contribution can be paid in full or in three equal annual instalments. Internship and thesis grants are funded by the partner company, on top of the annual partnership fee. Partners may choose to contribute more than their level requires.
