🎓 How can universities ensure that technological progress remains guided by human values, student needs, and institutional purpose? This question was central to discussions at the EDUCAUSE 2026 attended by several EUNIS Board members: Isabel Gallin, Angeliki Agorogianni, Giuliano Pozza, Laurent Flory, and Frédéric Habert.
The discussions focused on three key themes:
- AI and the student-centred institution
- Building the foundations for responsible AI
- AI, operations, and institutional sustainability
The key takeaway? The future of higher education will not be shaped by technology alone, but by the people, values, and purpose guiding its use. By sharing knowledge and learning from international experiences, we can help build a more human-centred, responsible, and sustainable digital future for higher education.
The partnership between EUNIS and EDUCAUSE also reinforces the value of sharing experiences across borders to address common challenges in digital transformation. Read more reflections fron #EDU26 at the EUNIS community platform.
