Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping education and industry at an unprecedented pace. Higher Education Institutions play a multifaceted role in educating graduates — but how can skills be mapped with AI?

This event offers a platform for open dialogue between academia and business, bringing together stakeholders to exchange perspectives and align expectations.

Students, educators and business representatives alike will explore the evolving conversation on the role of AI in shaping the future of education and employment.

The public online seminar takes place on 7 October 2026, from 9:30 to 11:30 CEST and will be held in English.
