Abstract Booklet
Dovramadjiev, Tihomir Technical University of Varna (TUV), Bulgaria dr.tihomir.dovramadjiev@gmail.com Tihomir Dovramadjiev is a professor associated at the Technical University of Varna (TUV), Bulgaria. He is the President of the Bulgarian Association of Ergonomics and Human Factors (BAEHF), affiliated with the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) and the Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES). He has PhD in Ergonomics and Industrial Design. He has contributed to around 100 scientific publications-articles and books. In the academic field, he is a lead lecturer in disciplines such as "Advanced Technologies in Design" and "EcoDesign," and he mentors PhD, bachelor's and master's students. He participates in a number of editorial boards and scientific conference committees. Increasing Educational and Language Opportunities Through the Implementation of International Experience from Project and Scientific Activities Effective international collaboration requires a solid educational, scientific, and pedagogical foundation, particularly within the framework of European-led programs like Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe that target Higher Education and Vocational Education and Training (VET). It is highly recommended to form international consortia with proven specialists and experts on current European priorities. The projects developed by these consortia should be presented in an illustrative manner, create as many open-access resources as possible, and be translated into multiple languages. This approach significantly enhances comprehension for trainees, students, and all stakeholders. This summary aims to present a successfully realized experience through internationally recognized projects. For instance, all results from the transnational projects HEDY and ErgoDesign have been translated into a wide array of languages. HEDY, a notable AI & Society European project spanning five countries across Eastern, Western, and Central Europe, has translated its outputs into seven languages: German, English, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan. Similarly, the healthcare-focused transnational project ErgoDesign, "Improving digital skills for ergonomics and bioengineering innovations for inclusive health care," is available in English, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Slovak, and Bulgarian. This transnational project experience (exemplified by HEDY, ErgoDesign, SAFE-D, and ErgoAI) acts as a bridge between international societies, delivering new knowledge and scientific expertise. This methodology is vital for improving public understanding of critical societal topics and for disseminating stateof-the-art innovations in AI, Cybersecurity, Healthcare, and Workplace Safety within the context of Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0 & 5.0. When supported by other public initiatives like Summer Schools, Workshops, and Webinars, and complemented by work on international scientific articles and books, this model adds a more solid foundation to the provided experience. The implementation of numerous languages within this framework increases stakeholder preparedness and pushes educational content forward, ensuring broader impact and accessibility.

30 March - 3 April 2026 Run Course 2: Ergonomics and Workplace
Well-being with AI” in Mazagón (Spain), bringing together professionals from Bulgaria (from BAEHF) to explore how ergonomics, postural health and artificial intelligence can transform working environments.
Hosted by IA GO!, this mobility
reinforces the role of international collaboration in driving innovation in
workplace well-being and professional training.
The focus is practical and applied:
- analysing real workspaces;
- identifying ergonomic risks;
- integrating AI-supported tools and designing healthier, more efficient and human-centred workplaces.
This type of training reflects a clear shift in adult education: from reactive approaches to preventive, data-informed and sustainable strategies that place people at the centre of organisational development.
The combination of AI and ergonomics reflects a growing interdisciplinary field within European research and policy. According to recent EU guidelines, digital transformation must be accompanied by a strong focus on human well-being, ensuring that technological adoption enhances rather than compromises working conditions. In this context, the training contributes
to building organisational capacity to implement sustainable, ethical and
