In September, Prof. Heesen visited the renowned Anna University in Chennai/India to meet with the faculty of Computer Science and Engineering and the faculty of Management Science. As part of the visit he congratulated and thanked Prof. Dr. Jayanth Jacob for his continued contribution as Visiting Professor in Ansbach in the program International Management for TOP Athletes (see also posting on LinkedIn). Prof. Heesen also gave a guest lecture to students from both departments about Management Decisions in the ML and AI era.

The trip to India also allowed to visit the faculty of the Goa Institute of Management, which offers a unique program on Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence.  The meetings, organized by Professor Balasubramanyam with faculty teaching Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing were valuable for both parties.
