Кралски технологичен институт в Мелбърн Европа (RMIT Европа)

RMIT Europe is the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology’s (RMIT University) European Innovation hub. RMIT University is a global university of design, technology and enterprise, with more than 84,000 students and 10,000 amazing teachers and staff. The main aim of RMIT Europe is to act as a bridge across education and research between Europe and Australia. We work in partnership with our parent Australian university to deliver innovative educational programs in Europe and provide a platform for knowledge sharing.

We have partnered with European Universities to deliver joint under and postgraduate courses which can provide new global experiences for students. We also have significant experience in online training programs and continued education delivery. Our parent university in Australia has a dual HE and VET function which is rare and we can therefore provide a unique perspective across both educational levels.

RMIT Europe will work collaboratively with RMIT University’s School of computing to define the best way of incorporating Generative AI into HEI curricula so that graduates have the necessary skills needed to succeed in their career. RMIT is also home to the Blockchain Innovation Hub which is the world’s first research centre on the social science of blockchain which includes the use of Generative AI.

Within Europe we have partnered to design new transnational training methods in applied learning which can be tailored to up- and re-skilling professionals which would also be relevant to the area of generative AI.
