4TU.NIRICT funding
This workshop is part of a proposal that received funding from 4TU.NIRICT for 'Raising awareness in high schools on ICT challenges'. This funding supports "activities that contribute to attracting high school students to NLT (Nature, Life, and Technology) subjects and supporting teachers with necessary skills for promoting and teaching these subjects." The aim is to develop teaching material that teachers can use in math, computer science and NLT courses at their own school. The content focuses on AI in medical image analysis: a highly engaging topic due to its importance in society and its ethical components.
