On March 20, 2025, the second online partner meeting under the TrustAI project – Higher Education as a Catalyst for the Trustworthy and Sustainable Use of Artificial Intelligence, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, took place. Representatives from all partner organizations from Bulgaria, Poland, Malta, Italy, and Spain participated. The meeting was held via Google Meet.

During the meeting, the ULSIT team presented the developed e-learning platform, available at https://projects.unibit.bg, as well as a completed subtopic from the curriculum, which includes a theoretical section, three micro-learning activities, a quiz, and additional resources. All subtopics will follow this unified structure.

To ensure consistency in the content, ULSIT will provide templates and brief guidelines for content development, including the number of pages/slides for the theoretical part, number and type of quiz questions, and the number of resources. The deadline for this task is March 28, 2025.

Partners will begin developing content based on pre-assigned topics and will coordinate the work within their teams. By the next meeting on April 28, 2025, each team will present a prototype of one subtopic to receive feedback from ULSIT.

The final deadline for delivering all content in English, as stated in the project application, is June 30, 2025. Specific deadlines will be communicated in the content development guidelines.

The TrustAI project aims to prepare students and lecturers in the humanities for the challenges and opportunities presented by modern AI technologies in education and society.

On February 13-14, 2025, partners of the TrustAI project gathered in Las Palmas, Spain, for a face-to-face transnational meeting at INFECAR. The event brought together representatives from academic and industry organizations across Europe to discuss the progress and next steps in developing trustworthy and sustainable AI education.
