Title: AI and education (afternoon joined together with SIG-AI)


The GÉANT Task Force for Educational Activities (TF-EDU) warmly invites you to its 16th TF-EDU meeting, where we will be focusing on AI and education.

The meeting is hosted by members of the TF-EDU Steering Committee, draws on years of collective insight and dialogue from within our community. It brings together stakeholders from NRENs, educational institutions, international bodies, governments, and industry, offering a unique platform to share experiences and shape the future of education.

This workshop will contribute directly to TF-EDU’s development of a forward-looking roadmap—supporting our shared understanding of sectoral changes and helping to guide the future of educational delivery.
