Shaping the Future of Universities in an AI World

Pre-registration

Artificial intelligence is transforming universities at every level — from classrooms to research labs and administrative offices. The AI in Higher Education Summit 2027 in Paris will bring together academics, innovators, and policy-makers to discuss one central question:

How should higher education evolve in an AI-driven world?

This international event is the place to exchange ideas, showcase innovations, and shape the roadmap for universities in the age of AI.

Why Attend the AI in Higher Education Summit?

The AI in Higher Education Summit has emerged as a key European forum for institutions seeking to understand and shape the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education.

Following a highly successful first edition in 2026, the 2027 Summit will bring together a diverse and international group of academic leaders, researchers, policymakers and practitioners.

  • Gain strategic perspective by engaging with leading scholars, institutional leaders and policymakers working at the forefront of AI adoption in higher education.
  • Learn from concrete experiences through selected case studies, demonstrations and applied research drawn from universities and institutions across Europe and beyond.
  • Engage in high-level debate on pedagogy, research integrity, ethics, governance and institutional transformation in the age of AI.
  • Contribute to lasting impact by helping shape an executive report and taking part in the emergence of a European community of practice.

The Summit is designed not only as a space for discussion, but as a platform for co-creating orientations and solutions that will influence the future of universities.

About the 2026 edition

Over two days in Paris, the first AI in Higher Education Summit brought together 183 participants — researchers, professors, institutional leaders, accreditation bodies, ed-tech pioneers, policymakers, and industry experts — united by one question: How should higher education evolve in an AI-driven world?
