Dr. Andreas Hilger and Dr. Christian Scharff (both University of Regensburg, Germany) were guests at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of the Basque Country from 22.04. to 26.04.24.

The two gave several lectures for different classes of Bachelor students from the first and second year of their curriculum, in which decisions about artificial intelligence and their effects were addressed. Students were also encouraged to discuss the relevance of the lecture content for various application situations in Iberdrola and to identify cultural differences between Spain, the Basque Country and Germany. In addition to this teaching content, the Erasmus programme and associated exchange opportunities for students were discussed. 

Alongside their lectures, Dr. Hilger and Dr. Scharff had an exciting in-depth exchange with professors from the Faculty of Economics and Business, particularly Gurutze Intxaurburu, Rosa Mindeguia and Anjel Errasti. This involved discussing the orientation of the teaching programmes and teaching methods particularly concerning AI. They also established contacts for academic collaboration regarding researching cultural differences in the use of digital technology.
