Join us for a series of discussions in collaboration with Advance HE about how universities and colleges across England are responding to the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education.
We’re hosting a series of roundtables to support our research with Advance HE into the ways institutions are responding to AI. These events are designed to help us better understand the risks, opportunities, and impact of AI, as well as identifying examples of good practice and barriers to effective adoption.
In-person events
These events are open to senior leaders of institutions, AI leads or equivalent, academic staff, students and their representatives. We will hold targeted sessions on each day for staff and students.
We’re keen to have a representative mix of higher education providers at these roundtables to ensure a diverse range of perspectives are included.
Please register your interest in attending an in-person event using the links below by Tuesday 2 June. We will contact you to confirm if you have a place on Wednesday 3 June. As we aim to keep numbers at a level that allows for in-depth discussion, we may not be able to accommodate everyone if we receive a high number of responses.
