Sofia University Hosts AI & Media Literacy Round Table

On 5 June 2026, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” hosted the round table “Technological Innovations in Education: Development of Media Literacy and Application of AI”, bringing together representatives of academic networks, project consortiums and educational organisations to discuss key challenges and opportunities in contemporary education.

The event was organised within the framework of Sofia University’s Presidency of the Transform4Europe (T4EU) Alliance. The Presidency, which runs from October 2025 to October 2026, focuses on advancing the application of artificial intelligence in higher education and research while fostering innovation, collaboration and knowledge exchange across the Alliance.

During the round table, participants explored the growing importance of media literacy as a tool for addressing disinformation, fake news and malicious online practices. Discussions also highlighted opportunities for integrating artificial intelligence and media literacy into educational environments, drawing on experiences and good practices from several projects in which Sofia University is actively involved.

Particular attention was devoted to innovative educational models, the development of sustainable academic networks and the skills that future generations will need in an increasingly digital world. By facilitating dialogue among researchers, educators and project representatives, the event contributed to the broader European conversation on the future of education and the responsible use of emerging technologies.

The round table reaffirmed Sofia University’s commitment to promoting educational innovation and strengthening cooperation within the Transform4Europe Alliance and beyond.
