Obsidian I² supports education, training and capability-building activities that help organisations, professionals and learners engage with advanced technologies and innovation practices. The institute develops and contributes to educational initiatives, learning resources, workshops and collaborative formats that strengthen knowledge transfer and practical uptake.
Our education-related activities are closely linked to the institute’s work in AI, interaction, cybersecurity, digital systems and applied innovation, with an emphasis on relevance, accessibility and real-world value.
We see education not as a separate administrative function, but as an essential part of capability development. In rapidly evolving technical fields, meaningful progress depends on the ability to transfer knowledge, strengthen practical skills, and create environments in which people can understand and apply emerging technologies responsibly and effectively.
Our areas of interest
Technology-oriented training and learning content
We contribute to training materials, learning activities and educational resources related to emerging technologies and interdisciplinary innovation.
Knowledge transfer across sectors
We support collaboration between research, industry, public stakeholders and other actors in order to improve the accessibility and uptake of technical knowledge.
Capability-building and skills development
We are interested in activities that strengthen practical competence, innovation capacity, digital literacy and the ability to engage with complex technologies in a structured way.
Workshops, mentoring and collaborative learning
We contribute to workshops, mentoring activities, dissemination actions and other collaborative formats that support continuous learning and exchange.
How we work
Obsidian I² contributes to educational and capability-building activities through collaborative projects, workshops, training actions, dissemination formats and interdisciplinary initiatives with members and partners.
Why this matters
Technology adoption depends on people as much as on systems. Skills, understanding and institutional capability are essential if advanced technologies are to be used well, governed responsibly and translated into sustainable value. Obsidian I² approaches education and training as part of a wider ecosystem of innovation, adoption and responsible practice.
