Representatives of Khmelnytskyi National University took part in the annual AIRE seminar in Estonia. Oksana KHASANOVA, a postgraduate student at the Department of Technology and Design of Garments of Khmelnytskyi National University, and Galyna SHVETS, an associate professor at the Department of Technology and Design of Garments, who are members of the working group of the international project EDIH Clotex-HUB, took part in the annual seminar organized by the Estonian Association for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics AIRE. The event took place on August 25–26, 2025 at the TalTech Särgiaua training center (Tallinn, Estonia) and was timed to celebrate the 4th anniversary of AIRE.
This year, AIRE combined the traditional seminar with the EDIH (European Digital Innovation Hubs) meeting, which provided the participants with the opportunity to discuss key issues in the development of the European Union's digital infrastructure, exchange of best practices, and cooperation between academic institutions, clusters, enterprises, and government agencies.
The event program featured: speeches by leading experts from the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs, as well as industry representatives; joint EDIH sessions dedicated to the role of digital innovation hubs in the European AI ecosystem; discussion of the challenges and prospects of implementing AI in the public and private sectors; networking events and informal communication. The event was attended by representatives from various European countries, including: Germany, Romania, Ireland, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, Denmark, Estonia and Ukraine, which created a unique platform for international dialogue and cooperation.
During the seminar, representatives of Khmelnytskyi National University actively established professional ties, exchanged contacts and ideas for further cooperation with colleagues from other countries. This contributed to the expansion of international partnerships and the formation of new areas of scientific research. In addition to working within the framework of the event, the participants also had the opportunity to visit the e-Estonia digitalization center in Ülemiste (Tallinn) and in their free time to explore the historical part of Tallinn, which allowed them to better familiarize themselves with the culture and traditions of Estonia.
The event became a platform for presenting activities Clotex-HUB within the framework of the EDIH (European Digital Innovation Hub) initiative. This allowed discussing the prospects for new partnerships within the framework of EU grant programs, especially in the direction of applying artificial intelligence for industry.
In the future, Clotex-HUB will continue to focus on the implementation of intelligent technologies in the economy, expand cooperation with European AI ecosystems, develop new training courses and initiate joint experimental projects for the practical implementation of innovations. We are confident that artificial intelligence is the key to the future of industry, and Clotex-HUB strives to be among the leading participants in this digital transformation process.
