April 12, 2024 launched "IT Marathon "Data Collection for Enterprise Management" before the start of the DAAD project "Digit 3: Data collection and digitalisation with a focus on University Colleges in 2024" and on the occasion of 126th anniversary of the birth of NUBiP of Ukraine.
The IT marathon is designed to strengthen cooperation between Ukrainian educational institutions, IT companies, agricultural enterprises and The University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf (HSWT), whose project manager is Prof. Ralf Schlauderer, as well as in order to strengthen the practical aspect of learning and use the advantages of an interdisciplinary approach in preparation for the project "Digit 3: Data collection and digitalisation with a focus on University Colleges in 2024".
First of all, I would like to share information about the organization of the event. For several years now Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences cooperates intensively with National University of Bioresources and Environmental Management of UkraineThe purpose of such cooperation is to train teachers of agricultural universities, agricultural colleges and other subjects of agricultural education in the creation of digital online educational materials, etc. Rivne FC, as a structural unit of NUBiP of Ukraine, joined the projects HSWT, last year, 2023. The teachers visited the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences, which became the impetus for attracting teachers and students from colleges of agricultural universities to participate in the IT marathon.
Rivne FC NUBiP of Ukraine is holding an IT marathon for the fourth time with the support of the NGO "Rivne IT Education", represented by Executive Director Andriy KHMELNYK and UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group, represented by the bank's representative, Gerasymchuk Stepan. This time, the event combines knowledge from the field of information technology with the field of agriculture, because the project "Digit 3: Data collection and digitalisation with a focus on University Colleges in 2024" is focused on the agricultural sector.
In order to start any activity, it is important first of all to research the subject area of the study. Data collection is an important component, the initial stage of research, without which it is impossible to understand whether it is advisable to start a business. Therefore, the main task of the participants is to collect data from the field of agriculture, as well as research the subject area according to all indicators of a specific agricultural business. And since the format of our marathons is IT, it is important to use information technology tools to implement the project.
The introductory meeting was attended by friends who helped start the IT marathon, employees of Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf.
