OECD-ERIA GoHE in Conversation with Frédérique Bouchard
The OECD together with the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) is pleased to invite you to join the 11th of a series of webinars with prominent international experts.
In a 45-minute event (including Q&A), we will discuss with Frédérique the way in which a AI ecosystem works, based on her experience in Montreal/Québec. In particular, we will ask her about the challenge of bridging digital and entrepreneurial skills, and the way in which HEIs can contribute to the life-cycle of a “super-cluster”.
This meeting will be held in English.
