The Innovation and Digital Transformation course delves into digital transformation in tourism, focusing on customer experience and operational efficiency. Participants will gain insights into digital technologies, innovation, and the steps necessary to drive transformation. A journey through key technologies, innovation, and case studies, this online course provides a comprehensive understanding of digital transformation. Students will engage in videos, readings, and assignments, preparing to implement effective digital strategies and build sustainable tourism ecosystems for long-term success.

During this 8-hour deep dive, you will be introduced to the key techniques, services, and trends that will help you understand foundation models from the ground up. This means breaking down theory, mathematics, and abstract concepts combined with hands-on exercises to gain functional intuition for practical application. Throughout the course, we focus on a wide spectrum of progressively complex generative AI techniques, giving you a strong base to understand, design, and apply your own models for the best performance. We’ll start with recapping foundation models, understanding where they come from, how they work, how they relate to generative AI, and what you can to do customize them. You’ll then learn about picking the right foundation model to suit your use case.

As a service to the system, UNSSC has designed five, freely available, self-paced, introductory e-learning modules, each focusing on a cutting-edge skill identified in the Quintet of Change - UN 2.0 Policy Brief (Innovation, Strategic Foresight, Behavioural Science, Data, Digital).
