Project Summary

Artificial intelligence to improve the employability and empowerment of young Europeans

We are five schools: Turkey, Portugal, Crete, France, Romania, two hospitals (Mutualiste Institute Monstsouris in Paris and a Hospital in Ankara) and an university (the University of Law of Descartes in Paris ).

The goal of our project is to organize four Hackathons which aim to create and develop an application that will be enriched during each hackathon by a new component that will present the specificities of the trades (according to European countries), interviews (conducted with experts)… Thus, we will create an application revolving around the digital and the employability of young Europeans.

Each school represents a profession through each hackathon :

1. Hackathon in France: Discovering the health professions and creating an application using artificial intelligence (with the collaboration with Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris), (We have an hospital institut privé Montsouris in Paris and private center of medical studies)
2. Hackathon in Portugal: digital and entrepreneurship – robotics and business learning in Europe in the digital domain,
3. Hackathon in Crete: supporting of elderly people making their everyday conditions easier using the Industry 4 achivements. it will be about an application that could provide unified available resources for elderly people who are of little or not at all involved in the digital era.The local computing community is active on computing and there are many young people interested in participating in such projects.
4. Hackathon in Romania: discover the profession of curator of heritage and see the role of digital in the future profession of heritage curator because currently some museums are accessible on tablets, other museums authenticate their work.
5. Hackathon in Turkey: Discovering the improvement of health thanks to digital (and robotics with the collaboration of a turkish fondation partner (BUYUK ORTADOGU SAGLIK VE EGITIM VAKFI).

So, our project will focus on digital solutions for employment and youth empowerment. Youngth will be challenged to come up with innovative ways in which digital solutions can help young people in their job search and help hiring professionals get closer to young job seekers : to contact them, to motivate them, to propose the right opportunities or the right trainings.
