Agenda

Digitalisation and innovation define the efficiency and resilience of universities, as they are expected to become participants and leaders of digital transition, help develop competencies of the future, and offer new models of training based on data, AI, and hybrid forms of education. Generative AI is changing the cognitive infrastructure of universities by challenging their monopoly on “knowledge creation”, redefining the role of the teacher and standards of evaluation, and forcing them to develop AI policies. How can a digitalisation strategy be translated into actual change in education and the way universities are managed, as they come under pressure of demographics, finance, and students’ expectations?
