On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, a professional conference entitled From Research to Solutions – AI Changing Practice will be held in Trnava.
Its aim will be to present the international project InnovAIte Slovakia, hold an expert discussion, present research plans, and establish future
collaborations. The Slovak Centre of Scientific and Technical Information (CVTI SR), as one of the members of the project consortium, will be present.

Key Introduction

The opening conference is organized as a professional forum that connects research with practice in the field of artificial intelligence. Its purpose is to present solutions with practical impact on key sectors. The event will take place in Trnava, at the Holiday Inn Hotel. The conference will provide up-to-date insights into the application of artificial intelligence in areas such as energy-efficient buildings, transport safety, digital innovations in insurance, and software engineering.

“Artificial intelligence is a phenomenon of our time, and we see the InnovAIte Slovakia project as a significant step toward bringing research results in the field of artificial intelligence into practice more swiftly. This initiative provides us with a unique opportunity to support innovations with real-world impact,” said Róbert Gálik, Director General of CVTI SR. He also expressed his belief that cross-sector collaboration will lead to tangible solutions that will ultimately benefit society as a whole.‍

Sustainability and Ethics

InnovAIte Slovakia focuses on artificial intelligence solutions that are technologically advanced, ethical, environmentally sustainable, and socially beneficial. The initiative includes research aimed at ensuring responsibility, transparency, and fairness in artificial intelligence systems.
