AI in Action: Shaping the Future of Higher Education

About the Event

Join us for the launch of the UCISA Thought Leadership programme, led by Former UCISA Chair, Emma Woodcock. This exclusive event continues the thought leadership conversations initiated at UCISA25, bringing together visionary CIOs and digital leaders from across the UK Higher Education sector.

Our focus will be on exploring the impact of AI on our sector and the cultural, ethical, and strategic shifts needed to harness its full potential.

Through dynamic discussions, expert panels, and a compelling transformation story, we will consider what it truly means to build an AI-ready institution, addressing pressing questions and challenges such as:

• Cultivating an AI-ready culture across academic and operational domains
• Establishing ethical frameworks and governance models for responsible AI use
• Aligning with government AI policy recommendations despite limited funding and resources
• Teaching AI to students and managing its use in learning environments
• Overcoming barriers to AI adoption in HE

As our sector navigates the complex AI landscape, through this peer-led discussion, you’ll leave with practical frameworks and ideas to accelerate AI readiness in your institution. 

Join us for an inspiring day of insights, networking, and transformative discussions!
