Due to the great interest from architects, civil engineers and designers, one of the most attractive training courses of the Association “European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in Construction”, which is related to the use of drones in the construction industry, will be held again. The 3-day training “Photography, Survey and Surveillance with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” is scheduled to start on February 12, 2025.

In front of hundreds of participants, the head of the European Digital Innovation Hub in the Construction Sector (EDIH in the Construction Sector), Maria Nakova, presented its activities during the conference on the occasion of World Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day. The largest GIS forum in Bulgaria brings together leading professionals and provides an opportunity for business, state administration, non-governmental organizations and the academic community to meet to exchange experiences and share their ideas for the development of GIS technologies in our country. Every year, Esri Bulgaria – a partner and co-founder of EDIH in the Construction Sector, organizes a conference to mark World GIS Day. The courses for working with GIS technologies are part of the specialized training and services that EDIH provides for the digital transformation in construction.

The European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in the construction sector is expanding its activities throughout Bulgaria and will now conduct training courses not only at its headquarters in Sofia. The first such training starts on November 20 in Dimitrovgrad. The theoretical classes of the course “Methods for applying liquid screeds on underfloor heating” will be held in the conference room of the local Estilo hotel, and the acquisition of practical skills will be at a real construction site in the city. The training will last until November 22.

The course “Energy Efficiency under the ETICS System for Advanced Students” of the European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in the construction sector will be held at the Baumit Bulgaria Vocational Training Center in Elin Pelin from November 6 to 8. The training is face-to-face, and its main goal is to familiarize with the technology and how to work with integrated thermal insulation systems (ETICS). The course corresponds to the other trainings in the program, thus creating a learning cycle covering the principles of healthy living.

Representatives of various construction companies visited one of the most attractive training courses of the Association “European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in the construction sector” – “Opportunities for the application of unmanned aerial vehicles in construction”. For three days, owners and employees of small and medium-sized companies, architects and designers had the opportunity to learn about the use of drones in the implementation of projects in various construction areas, and after completing it, they gave a high rating for the knowledge gained. The course was led by Eng. Yordan Hristev, Director of “Geodesy and Surveying” at Geostroy – a company co-founder of EDIH in the construction sector.
