Description

  • Type

    Short course

The understanding of how such technologies work, and the opportunities they enable, cannot be easily obtained through conventional means. This gap in information could lead to a hindering of interest due to the scarcity of appropriately trained individuals to implement and promote such technologies. This module addresses such an issue by delivering a holistic picture of the advanced technologies, covering relevant technical, economic and socio-political aspects that will be illustrated through a combination of technical demonstration and real world case studies. The module provides attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate options and specify appropriate solutions within a range of different contexts and business models.
