Programme

The event consists of five days of workshops, seminars and professional exchanges dedicated to artificial intelligence, virtual reality and 3D modelling. In the workshops, participants explore three-dimensional and virtual environments and experiment with interacting with artificial intelligence, while the seminars examine AI ethics, its regulation and institutional strategies for introducing it into university processes and services; space is also devoted to multilingual communication and mutual understanding between languages, skills considered essential for working across institutions from different countries.^1,2

The event's name, VISION, is an acronym for VIrtual reality and AI for Staff InnovatiON. Lecturers, researchers and technical staff share knowledge and experience spanning immersive technologies, educational science, philosophy, languages and law.²

The closing day, Friday 6 November, is held at the Cavallerizza Reale and is dedicated to the University of Turin's Teaching and Learning Center (TLC), set up in 2022 to develop teaching skills within departments and bring together the university's innovation experiences.²
