AWS car racing event @Bayer to learn and connect artificial intelligence enthusiasts. On June 21, 2023, Bayer will participate in an AWS-organized DeepRacer event. In 4 hours, teams will program small cars using machine learning algorithms to race in tracks and compete to win. From their website, it is a “cloud-based 3D racing simulator, fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning”. A fun way and excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience in machine learning. The main events will run in Berlin, São Paulo, and St. Louis, and many colleagues will participate remotely in the race from other cities not only in Germany, but also in Poland, Spain, and other countries. You can support the event with logistics or learn some machine learning and be a participant, or just be there to meet other AI / data scientists from other departments, since many colleagues from Marketing, R&D, IT, Product Supply, Controlling, Facility Management, and Site Security, are co-organizing or participating in this. Imagine how much you will learn. For more information about the AWS DeepRacer, see: https://aws.amazon.com/deepracer/

In the international and interdisciplinary master's degree program in Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability (IMES) from the Technische Universität Berlin, students learn about all the fundamental principles of innovation management, entrepreneurship and sustainability. This includes all issues on operative, tactical and strategic levels relevant to founding new businesses or working in R&D. In this meeting with Bayer, IMES will intensify the exchange to leverage knowledge transfer. IMES students will be able to learn from experienced managers first-hand what it means for a multinational corporation to pursue highly relevant topics like sustainability and disruption from technology. https://www.tu.berlin/en/, https://www.tu.berlin/entrepreneurship/forschung-und-lehre/masterstudiengaenge/msc-imes Bayer is an innovation company with a 160-year history, https://www.bayer.com/en/.
