5. Lukas Fischer: On the Software Competence Center Hagenberg (SCCH)

Author: Manuel Pasieka April 17, 2021 Duration: 1:05:44

The field of AI and Machine learning is moving with an ever increasing pace, and for most small and medium companies that cannot afford their own research labs, keeping up new scientific papers and software frameworks is almost impossible.

Today on the show I interview Lukas Fischer who is the Research Manager of the Data Science branch of the Software Competence Center Hagenberg that is here to help companies achieve this difficult task. The center has the mission to enable the knowledge transfer from academia to private partners, so that they can stay ahead of the competition.

If you are interested to hear about the structure, challenges and career opportunities within an applied research institute at linking academia and private industry, then this episode is for you.
