ZAKKI - Zentrale Anlaufstelle für innovatives Lehren und Lernen interdisziplinärer Kompetenzen der KI

ZAKKI aimed to equip lecturers and staff at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences with comprehensive competencies in the field of artificial intelligence and to develop corresponding study and professional development programs. Within subject-specific and interdisciplinary teaching and learning labs, formats were designed that addressed the technical, economic, ethical, and societal dimensions of AI and were intended to establish a central hub for innovative teaching and learning.

The project was part of the federal and state funding initiative “Künstliche Intelligenz in der Hochschulbildung”, was selected as one of 54 projects, and received approximately two million euros in funding until the end of 2025. Through ZAKKI and its participation in the joint project Ai.Engineering, the university strengthened its profile in the field of AI and positioned itself as a center of expertise in this area.
