This deliverable presents the outcomes of the needs assessment process conducted within the AIdesignTEX project. It identifies knowledge and skills gaps at the Lodz University of Technology (TUL), particularly in the context of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Circular Economy (CE) principles in textile production. The report is based on internal analyses and a confidential survey conducted among project partners (UiS, GU, UCAV). The findings provide a foundation for future training activities, collaborative initiatives, and strategic planning aimed at strengthening TUL’s research, innovation, and project management capacities.
