AI Co-Creation in Higher Education

AI Co-Creation in Higher Education

On June 16, 2026, the Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF) invites participants to a workshop on “AI Co-Creation in Higher Education” at the Robert Koch Forum in Berlin. The event will focus on current challenges and future perspectives surrounding the use of AI in higher education – ranging from questions concerning study and examination regulations to new didactic opportunities enabled by the creative collaboration between educators, learners and AI systems. The workshop will bring together representatives from university leadership, teaching, administration, the student community, as well as Berlin’s innovation and academic ecosystem, providing space for exchange, discussion and networking.

 

A special focus will be placed on the thematic discussion tables, where participants will explore innovative teaching, learning and assessment formats, dos and don’ts of study and examination regulations and future (AI) competencies in demand.
