Artificial Intelligence Excellence Centre

The Artificial Intelligence Excellence Centre operating at Kaunas University of Technology aims to actively contribute to the development of Lithuania’s artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem by promoting fundamental and applied AI research, which serves as the basis for innovative, practically applicable, and commercially viable solutions.

About us

The KTU Artificial Intelligence Excellence Centre brings together the University’s expertise in artificial intelligence (AI), shapes strategic directions for its development and coordinates AI-related activities. The Centre connects researchers, students and partners from different fields, with the aim of applying knowledge and technologies developed at KTU to address real-world challenges faced by businesses, industry and society.

An important area of the Centre’s activities is collaboration with businesses and other organisations. KTU’s AI expertise can be used to develop technological solutions, carry out joint research and experimental development projects, provide consultancy and training, and assess opportunities for applying AI within specific organisational contexts. The Centre also helps businesses identify relevant expertise at KTU and connect with researchers and specialists in the required fields.

Particular attention is also given to developing the next generation of researchers. Bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students are encouraged to participate in research, projects and the development of solutions to real-world problems, strengthening their practical AI expertise and fostering closer links between studies, research and business.

The key functions of KTU AI Excellence Centre:

  • Developing and controlling policies for the development of AI at the University;
  • Dissemination of University achievements and results in the field of AI;
  • Representation of KTU in national and international organizations, and working groups;
  • Coordination of projects, services (including non-formal education), activities;
  • Providing information to stakeholders about the services provided by the University.
