Exploration into the use of AI – whether in learning and teaching, research or institutional management – is deepening. Among university communities, its real and potential value is increasingly understood. But as AI-powered tools proliferate, how can universities successfully – and responsibly – manage the leap from experimentation to systematic integration?
For universities, change is nothing new. Curiosity and adaptability are at the core of academic communities, sparking enquiry, innovation and critical reflection on established practices. Steady and transformative advances in the technological sphere have tested – and reinforced – universities’ capacity to manage change, cementing the sector’s position and influence in the digital transition. But with big developments come important questions: will AI technologies form part of this steady transformation or will they upend traditional ways or working? And can the sector’s approach set the tone for the integration of AI across society?
This event will showcase selected practices in the adoption of AI within the institutional context. Presentations will be framed by expert input on the political and regulatory backdrop and complemented by panel discussions on the ethical considerations surrounding the integration of new technologies. The conference will examine the effectiveness of policies and frameworks in guiding implementation and setting boundaries around the use of digital technologies. Plenary and parallel sessions will explore the critical importance of training and the role of leadership, educators and learners in determining where AI brings benefits and where it does not.
Participation is open to representatives of EUA members as well as to practitioners or AI enthusiasts in the wider university community. The sessions will also be of interest to anyone curious about universities’ response to developments in AI and how this might shape the adoption of such technologies more widely.
The call for contributions is now closed.
Conference sessions will feature selected initiatives in the adoption of AI within the institutional context as well as examining policies and frameworks designed to guide implementation. In order to showcase good practices of AI integration among EUA’s members and demonstrate how these may be adapted to similar contexts, EUA is now inviting proposals for practice presentations.
