August 19, 2021, Schaffhausen, Switzerland – Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) announced today that Wolfgang Wahlster, a professor and pioneer of AI in Germany, will join SIT´s Strategic Advisory Board. The current portfolio and future plans of SIT in the field of MI sparked interest from Professor Wahlster, who was approached by SIT as an expert for its Strategic Advisory Board with a focus on AI.

On August 3, 2021, the 3-week course that brought together 28 people with migration background came to an end. The students graduated from the IT Skills Programme organized by Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) and Acronis. Programme participants were trained in essential technology and employment topics designed to provide them with the resources to establish a better career and brighter future.

Quantum legend and Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) and University of Geneva (UniGe) Professor Nicolas Gisin publishes another paper in npj Quantum Information on quantum computing. The article, “Demonstrating the power of quantum computers, certification of highly entangled measurements and scalable quantum nonlocality” tests the power of state-of-the-art IBM quantum computers in correlation experiments inspired by quantum networks.

Week one of the IT Skills Programme for people with immigration background in Schaffhausen is off to a good start! The three-week programme offers basic IT, cybersecurity and soft-skill topics like CV best-practices, use of social media for education and work and even understanding and dealing with cryptocurrencies

SIT proudly joins partner Acronis in this year’s IT Skills Programme for Migrants. The programme, initiated last year, will kickoff July 12 with 3 weeks of workshops and trainings for students, providing them with essential hard and soft skills for employment and equipping them with the knowledge and expertise to achieve their professional goals.

CERN, Yandex School of Data Analysis, Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis of HSE University and High Energy Physics Laboratory at EPFL rely on Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) Alemira to build an online platform for an innovative summer program covering the young area of data analysis and computational research that has started to emerge in High Energy Physics (HEP).

Quantum legacy, Nicolas Gisin, SIT Strategic Advisory Board Member and Prof. of Quantum Information and Communication, University of Geneva and SIT, co-publishes another paper on quantum technology. The paper, 'Demonstrating the power of quantum computers, certification of highly entangled measurements and scalable quantum nonlocality,' published in npj Quantum Information, discusses quantum networks, focusing on frameworks within a quantum chip with superconducting qubits.

SIT and go tec! are thrilled to be working together to counter the shortage of skilled workers through a pilot course that will blend SIT’s expertise in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) with go tec!’s MINT specialization (mathematics, informatics, natural science, technology), bringing Active Learning to the go tec! Laboratory.

SIT and UniGe Prof. Nicolas Gisin joins the European Academy of Sciences and Arts where he will hold a session to discuss, ‘From Quantum Foundations to Applications in Quantum Cryptography and back’. The digital conference in Salzburg, Austria brings together leading quantum experts to discuss what they are calling the second generation of quantum technology in which principles of quantum mechanics are applied in a targeted manner.

Over the next three days, executives and managers from marketing, events and tech industries consolidate at Flow Experience, an innovative event that brings together professionals who are transforming the way of doing business. The digital event, hosted in Brazil, focuses on the areas most impacted by the digital transformation, and features a series of panel discussions designed to help business leaders better prepare for the future.
