BI Day

BI Day (13.01.2026)

We will not be as restrictive as 3MT (https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au/home), but still there will be some limitations:

⏰ max 3 min / person,
🎞️ max 3 slides (static, no animations, only in PDF format, uploaded at least 24h before the meeting, i.e., before 12.01.2025, 9am; file name <Surname>.pdf),
📢 you are expected to present something interesting about your research activity related to Business Intelligence, e.g., preliminary results of your Master thesis, a BI-type project from another curriculum, or a BI-type project from your internship.
