Ideas and informatics 3700-AL-II-qDP

The classes are arranged in three stages. The first one is devoted to the organisation of the activities. The second stage is devoted to students' presentations of computer based projects while the third one consists of lectures devoted to the legal and economical issues related to running a business in informatics. The first stage would take 2-3 weeks, the second one up to the end of December while the third one would take place in the final month of the semester. The presentations in the second stage are given by teams that consist of either students of informatics (teams of 3 persons) or students of other majors (teams of up to 3 persons). Presentations given by teams from informatics will be interleaved with presentations of similar duration given by students of other majors. During the classes there is time devoted to discussion over the projects. This format would create a platform where ideas could be exchanged between different circles that take part in the subject. In the third part, until the beginning of the exam period, the task of students would be to formulate interdisciplinary projects that could form a basis of a potential start-up. The proposals should be formulated by teams with students of different majors. Project descriptions of length 5-10 pages would be submitted in January to a committee that would consist of representatives of informatics and other majors that take part in the organisation of the subjects. Until the end of winter exam session, a limited number of projects will be chosen, which can be mentored by our faculty members within the educational path Start-ups of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics. In addition, some of the classes in the third stage will be devoted to lectures concerning the legal and economical issues related to running a business in informatics.
