ACC Forum 2025 kicked off!
On Friday 11 April 2025, we officially launched the virtual part of ACC Forum 2025 under the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) – and what a fantastic start it was! Our theme for this year under the presidency of Technická univerzita v Liberci is "AI in Practice – Its Contribution to the Development of the Euroregion Neisse".
Together with our partner universities, Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz, DHSN Bautzen - Duale Hochschule Sachsen, Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny we Wrocławiu, Karkonoska Akademia Nauk Stosowanych w Jeleniej Górze and Internationales Hochschulinstitut (IHI) Zittau (TU Dresden) we brought together over 50 students from 6 universities across 3 countries – all curious, creative, and ready to collaborate!
The afternoon was packed with fresh ideas, and we were delighted to welcome two guest lecturers, Dr. Rocco Haustein and Sergii Lysenko.
We look forward to welcoming all students in Liberec from May 19–23 for the in-person part of the programme – packed with lectures, workshops, company visit, and great cross-border experiences!
Online meeting on 11. April

doc. Ing. Petr Červa, Ph.D.
Leads the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, which deals with research and application of machine learning methods for processing and mining speech, image or text data. In the context of speech processing, this is particularly the task of automatic transcription, speaker or language identification from acoustic signals. In the context of image processing, it is particularly specialised in methods for object or person detection. Text processing uses extensive pre-trained language models, for example, in the context of the task of automatic punctuation completion, word capitalisation or anonymisation of text documents. Doc. Ing. Petr Červa, Ph.D. is a member of the Faculty of Mechatronics, Technical University of Liberec.
Praktická ukázka aplikace s umělou inteligencí Beey.io, která umožňuje automaticky přepisovat videa, přednášky nebo schůzky do textu, vytvářet titulky a překládat a shrnout přepsaný text. Workshop je rozdělen do dvou částí: v první části se teoreticky seznámíme s aplikací a jejími funkcemi. Ve druhé části si prakticky vyzkoušíte, jak rychle a snadno přepsat video bez zdlouhavé manuální práce, upravit přepis v intuitivním editoru a vytvořit titulky, které zpřístupní váš obsah širokému publiku bez ohledu na jazyk nebo specifické potřeby. Tento workshop je ideální pro každého, kdo chce posunout svou video tvorbu na další úroveň s využitím moderních technologií.
