Public administration across Europe is increasingly adopting artificial intelligence. However, understanding the technologies themselves is not enough; it is equally important to know how to use them safely, responsibly, and effectively in the delivery of public services. The European project AI4Gov-X addresses this need. One of its key outputs is a new specialized master’s program, MagiX (Artificial Intelligence, Governance Innovation and Digital Transformation), coordinated by Politecnico di Milano. The inaugural cohort of the program offers a unique opportunity to become part of a new European community of experts focused on the use of artificial intelligence in public administration. Applications for the first intake are open until October 1, 2026.
A program for professionals who want to bridge AI and public administration
MagiX is a specialized master’s program designed for university graduates who wish to expand their professional expertise in the fields of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and the modernization of public administration.
It is suitable for professionals from the public sector, academia, and private organizations who wish to acquire practical skills for using AI in their professional work. The program will be particularly valuable to:
- public administration employees,
- public policy makers,
- experts in digitalization and innovation,
- výskumníci a vysokoškolskí pracovníci,
- university graduates,
- young professionals with an interest in AI and digital transformation.
This is not a traditional technical program focused on programming. The program integrates artificial intelligence, data analytics, public administration, innovation management, law, ethics, and public policy development.
What MagiX offers
The program comprises 60 ECTS credits, runs primarily online over 13 months, and combines specialized modules, practical workshops, elective activities (including the option of an internship), and a final project.
Participants will gain access not only to high-quality academic content but also to practical tools developed within the project.
AI4Gov-X:
- AI4Engine – an environment for experimenting with AI solutions for public administration,
- AI4Scale – platforma na zavádzanie a škálovanie digitálnych inovácií,
- AI4Gov-X Skill Wallet – a digital portfolio of acquired competencies and micro-credentials.
At the same time, the program connects participants from across Europe and creates an international community of AI experts in the public sector.
Graduates of the program will acquire competencies applicable to managing digital transformation, implementing AI solutions, data policy, and innovation within public administration.

About the AI4Gov-X Project
AI4Gov-X (AI4Gov Accelerate) is a European project co-funded by the Digital Europe Programme, aimed at fostering the use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in public administration. The project connects universities, public administration bodies, research organizations, and other partners from across Europe to develop new educational programs, digital tools, and practical solutions for modernizing the public sector.
One of the project’s key outputs is the MagiX master’s program, complemented by short-term educational modules, experimental AI platforms, and a system for the digital recognition of acquired competencies.
