Key insights:
AI is reshaping institutional strategies, curricula, pedagogy, research projects, and administrative processes
The programme explored how students and staff can work effectively alongside AI, emphasising the development of digital-age skills and fostering collaboration between humans and technology
Participants examined practical strategies to navigate EU funding mechanisms, ensuring that HEIs can responsibly implement AI while accessing critical resources for research, training, and infrastructure
The programme underscored the importance of international cooperation
Developing AI-ready institutions requires comprehensive strategies, upskilling staff and students, and fostering cross-border collaboration to share best practices and mitigate risks. A shared European charter will provide a guiding framework for responsible AI adoption.
