Arcada x Alumni
- Arcada
This autumn's big alumni event Arcada x Alumni will be held on Wednesday 16.11 at 16.30-19.00 at Arcada.
Welcome to Arcada's first big alumni event! This year we are launching Arcada x Alumni, a new annual event that brings together alumni from all our programmes. Arcada x Alumni will be held on Wednesday 16 November from 16.30-19.00 on Arcada's campus.
Have you met a social robot or wondered what role they will play in different industries in the future? Social robots are already being used in areas such as healthcare, education and hospitality, and they will become increasingly common in our society.
Arcada's affiliated professor Elisabeth Hildt gives you new insights into the topic of social robots and the human side of human-robot interaction. In her keynote, she looks at how humans respond to and interact with social robots, and reflects on individual, societal and ethical implications.
You will also get to see our new lab and learning environments and hear our experts talk about which skills are in demand on the labour market. In addition, there will be plenty of time for mingling with other alumni, so join us and make new acquaintances or meet old friends from your time at Arcada!
Programme:
16.30–17.00: Welcome and networking with Amy & Alf (Arcada’s social robots)
17.00–17.30: Keynote: Humans encountering social robots - some thoughts for the future, Elisabeth Hildt, Professor of Philosophy, Affiliated Professor at Arcada
