The EU Centre of Excellence at RMIT is delighted to invite you to attend a lecture by the Ms
Kristina Kallas, Minister of Education and Research of Estonia.
As AI accelerates change, education faces a critical challenge: adapt wisely or risk falling
behind. Estonia’s AI-Leap (TI-Hüpe) is a bold response, embedding AI literacy and training in
higher cognitive processes into schools to prepare learners for an AI-driven world.
Our speaker, Minister Kallas, has become a significant voice in the EU on Artificial Intelligence
and its effects on education and research. She will explore these issues, and implications for
partnerships with Australia.
Dr Kristina Kallas is a distinguished Estonian politician, political scientist, and educator,
serving as Estonia’s Minister of Education and Research since April 2023. She has worked in
a variety of positions in Estonian universities and has been an adviser on education and
integration policy in Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Moldova. She is a founding member of the Eesti
200 political party, chairing it between and 2018-2022 and since August 2024.
