The roundtables will address key domains where GenAI is already reshaping academic practices. Topics will range from the use of generative AI in learning design, to assessment, feedback, and academic integrity, as well as issues of support and collaboration in educational contexts. Additional discussions will focus on professional development and governance, and on the impact of GenAI on the processes and tasks of scientific research, encouraging a comprehensive reflection on how generative technologies affect both teaching and knowledge production. These open sessions are designed to engage a broad academic audience and promote shared understanding of responsible GenAI adoption.

The symposium reflects the broader mission of EUonAIR (European University on AI in Curricula, Smart UniverCity and (Return) Mobility), a European University Alliance funded under the Erasmus+ European Universities Initiative. EUonAIR brings together universities and partners across Europe with the aim of transforming higher education through responsible, human centred, and collaborative AI. By linking education, research, innovation, and governance, the alliance seeks to develop long term, ethically grounded approaches to AI that contribute to the European Education and Research Areas and support Europe’s digital and social transitions.
