The conference is organised within the framework of the Erasmus+ funded project AI Pioneers (aipioneers.org).
For the academic community, the conference provides an opportunity to present and discuss the latest research findings and theoretical developments in the field of AI in adult and vocational education. Key topics include international studies, emerging competence requirements in the age of AI, and ethical evaluation frameworks.
For practitioners, the focus is on concrete use cases and best-practice models. Learn how AI tools are already supporting learning processes today, how schools and training institutions are integrating AI into their teaching practices, and what skills educators and learners will need in the near future.
