From challenges to opportunities: integrating AI in biosciences education — Chaired by Ferhan Sağın
Facilitators: Manuel João Costa and Robert Harris
This dynamic and interactive workshop explores how the challenges of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education can be transformed into opportunities for innovation and improvement. Bringing together a diverse group of experts—including practitioners, researchers, and policy advisors—the session fosters a collaborative environment where participants can share their experiences, discuss difficulties, and highlight best practices. The 2-hour session will begin with an introduction, and then will engage participants in sharing best practice and and addressing key questions about AI in education. These structured discussions will allow participants to engage deeply with practical and strategic aspects of AI implementation. An expert panel discussion, where experts will share insights and respond to participants' perspectives, ensures a well-rounded exploration of the topic. Join us to contribute your voice and gain valuable ideas to navigate the evolving role of AI in education!
