About

The AIoT Academy led by the Montenegrin Association for New Technologies (MANT) in cooperation with PRONA – Foundation for Science Promotion, is an initiative aimed at establishing a sustainable non-formal education program in Artificial Intelligence applied to the Internet of Things (AIoT) in Montenegro.

The project will be implemented through an intensive four-week training program (3 ECTS equivalent), combining theoretical lectures, laboratory practice, independent work and project-based learning. Participants will gain hands-on experience in designing, developing and testing AIoT systems in areas such as healthcare, agriculture, industry, disaster prevention and smart services.

A multidisciplinary team of experts in electronics, embedded systems, software engineering and AI technologies will guide high school students, university students and professionals, strengthening local capacities in this rapidly growing field.

Beyond direct participants, the project will contribute to strengthening Montenegro’s digital transformation and technological competitiveness, while creating the foundation for the future development of a recognized micro-credential program in AIoT.

This project is co-financed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation of Montenegro.

Duration: 2025–2026.
