Das Forschungsprojekt „PALLADiUM“ widmete sich der Frage, wie man die multiprofessionelle Kollaboration auf einer Palliativstation mithilfe der Digitalisierung unterstützen kann. Als Lösung entwickelte das interdisziplinäre Forschungsteam, bestehend aus Experten aus Medizin, Soziologie und Wirtschaftsinformatik, eine Mobile App, die die Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit verbessern soll.

La profession d’avocat·e ne saurait rester insensible aux avancées récentes en matière d’intelligence artificielle générative (IA), dont la démocratisation progressive et le développement rapide pourraient, à terme, modifier certaines pratiques.

On July 3, 2025, the USI indoor kickers and their selection met a selection of the USI artificial turf kickers at the SV Donau sports field in Kneipgasse. Two 30-minute matches were played in sweltering heat. Nevertheless, both teams gave their all in these conditions. In the end, the indoor footballers were able to celebrate. The match was refereed by (perhaps) future FIFA referee Klaus RISS. You couldn’t tell it was too hot for him. Afterwards, we went to the canteen of the Donau sports club and ended the evening together.
