Students from the Faculty of Law at the University of Kragujevac took part in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) “Future Skills for Law and Beyond: Navigating AI, Ethics and Innovation,” hosted by the University of Gdańsk in Poland from 26 to 30 October 2026. The in-person activities were preceded by online sessions held on 22 and 23 October. The academic programme featured lectures and workshops on the use of artificial intelligence in law, legal liability, and the ethical challenges posed by algorithmic systems. Students also took part in Oxford-style debates and team projects, exploring topics such as AI regulation, personal data protection, and intellectual property rights. Alongside the academic activities, the programme included a guided tour of Gdańsk and a workshop dedicated to Polish cuisine. These activities gave students the opportunity to experience Polish culture and traditional food, while discovering Gdańsk, a historic Baltic Sea city renowned for its long-standing amber trading and craftsmanship tradition.
