What can I expect at this AI conference in Europe?
Unlike traditional academic conferences, Teaching and Learning with AI in Europe embraces an unconference spirit – where around 300 attendees don’t just listen, they shape the conversation. Expect dialogue-driven sessions, collaborative workshops, and dynamic exchanges between educators, researchers, and policymakers.
AI is Here to Stay: How are You Going to Plan Your Courses with It?
Whether you’re a teaching faculty member, educational developer, instructional designer, instructional technologist, librarian, or administrator, AI’s role in education is becoming more prevalent in our work.
