The International Relations and Internationalization Office, in cooperation with the Institute of Computer Science of the Faculty of Science at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (UPJŠ), organized an event focused on the possibilities of using AI in academic and administrative settings. The event took place on 12 September 2025 in the newly renovated premises of the Faculty of Law at Kováčska 30 in Košice.
