On 2 June 2026, the final defence of the EDIH CASSOVIUM project took place at the Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatisation of the Slovak Republic (MIRRI) in Bratislava. This event officially concluded the 42 months of effort by the consortium, in which Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (UPJŠ) acted as a key partner together with the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) and IT Valley association.
Representing Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice at the final defence were prof. RNDr. Gabriel Semanišin, PhD.,Ing. Juraj Majcher and Ing. František Lenárt.
Additional members of the EDIH CASSOVIUM team included Mgr. Simona Rudohradská, PhD. and RNDr. Simona Rindošová.
The main content of the project consisted in providing specialised, highly professional services in the field of digital transformation for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and public organisations sector (POS).
A significant milestone was the final evaluation conducted by the European Union’s expert committee. The committee assessed the project’s progress and outcomes as highly beneficial and issued a positive opinion on it. In their evaluation, the experts clearly stated that the project not only met but, in many respects, exceeded its set objectives.
This evaluation confirms not only the professional quality and relevance of the achieved outputs but also the ability of Slovak academic and innovation institutions to effectively meet European standards in the field of digital innovation.
UPJŠ thus successfully closes its participation in the project and will continue to support digital transformation in the region within the framework of the sustainability of EDIH CASSOVIUM
