On June 17, 2026, an international scientific-practical conference was held in a hybrid format in the city of Vinnytsia (Ukraine) on the topic: “Artificial Intelligence, Immersive Technologies, and Virtual Environment: Interdisciplinary Practices, Prospects, and Challenges for Humanity and Society.” The large-scale event was co-organized by Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University and Georgian International University GIU.
At the official opening ceremony of the conference, Rector of GIU, Professor Eliso Elisashvili, delivered a welcome speech. She also served as Co-Chair of the Organizing Committee of the conference. In her speech, the Rector emphasized strong and successful partnership between the two universities. She noted that this cooperation has been effectively developing within the framework of the Erasmus+ CBHE project “Re-Direction,” which aims to enhance higher education through digital transformation and implement a shared framework for inclusive and sustainable development based on European best practices.
Professor Elisashvili spoke extensively about key trends in the development of artificial intelligence and digital transformation in modern educational and scientific environments, highlighting several major aspects:
– Innovative development of the educational sphere: The role of AI and immersive technologies in transforming teaching and learning methodologies, as well as the need to enhance students’ digital competencies in order to ensure their full integration into the future economy;
– Academic integrity and related challenges: The widespread use of generative AI systems necessitates the development of new ethical standards and regulatory frameworks;
– Inclusivity and accessibility: The role of digital transformation in removing barriers, and the significant potential of artificial intelligence in supporting education and social inclusion of persons with special needs;
The two more representatives of GIU were also involved in organization and implementation of the conference: Head of International Relations Department, Mr. Grigol Kalandadze, and Affiliated Professor, Ms. Zoia Adamia, both of whom serve as project managers of the “Re-Direction” project at GIU.
At the conference, professors and leading researchers of various nationalities presented reports addressing global challenges of the digital era from legal, psychological, and technological perspectives.
