New PIA Lab Platform Offers Free Digital Tools for Students
The Process Innovation and Automation Lab (PIA Lab) has launched a new platform that gives students free access to a range of digital tools and practice-oriented content.
Hosted on a local university server, the platform includes tools such as n8n, ERPNext, and Whisper, as well as space for student blog posts, project opportunities, and further content related to business information systems. The goal is to enable students to experiment with relevant technologies in a practical way without needing to set up their own infrastructure or pay for external services.
The platform is already available and can be accessed via the university network, either through VPN or campus Wi-Fi.
This new offering is intended to make practical digital tools more accessible and to strengthen applied learning opportunities for students.
