On which dimensions should academic institutions take position when implementing GenAI in education and research? Learn more about it in this knowledge workshop!
This knowledge workshop introduces in a structured manner the various dimensions on which academic institutions should take position when implementing GenAI in education and research. The dimensions introduced are anchored in existing frameworks such as the “Ethical guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data in teaching and learning for educators” and the “Living guidelines on the responsible use of Generative AI in research” by the European Commission. For each dimension, the session focuses on exploring the freedom that existing frameworks leave open and the implications of certain choices within that playing field.
The session prepares the participants to address the policy issues raised by the introduction of GenAI in a systematic way and within existing frameworks in a focused way.

Johan Desseyn
Johan Desseyn is founder and researcher at Mpiris. He started Mpiris 2017 to help governments and organisations make good decisions. He does so by providing policy-oriented social science research. With Mpiris, Johan also responds fully to the digitalisation of our society. Where possible, he applies technology-based methods to answer his clients' questions.
For Johan and his team, the emergence of Generative AI meant not only looking for ways to use these tools internally in an effective and responsible way, but also committing to sharing the accumulated expertise with his clients in government and education.

Learning Trajectory on Generative AI for Professionals in Higher Education
This is a suggestion for a learning trajectory on generative AI, targeted at professionals working in higher education (e.g., researchers, lecturers, administrative and technical staff, policymakers). The learning modules were carefully selected by VAIA to create a holistic and realistic starting point for educating this target group on GenAI. This trajectory gets updated regularly!
