On Wednesday, 28 October 2026, the online seminar “Policies and Strategies for the Use of AI in Universities” was held as part of the EdU-InA project.
The session, hosted via Microsoft Teams, brought together faculty members, researchers, and institutional leaders interested in the impact of generative artificial intelligence on higher education. This seminar was the fifth webinar in the dissemination series “Policies and Educational Practices of Generative AI”, which accompanies the development of the project and aims to share progress made in each of its specific objectives. On this occasion, the webinar focused on Specific Objective 2.2, dedicated to investigating current policies and strategies regarding the use of generative AI in universities.
The session opened with a presentation of the project by Aleix Barrera Corominas, one of the two coordinating researchers of EdU-InA. This was followed by a keynote lecture delivered by Francisco José García Peñalvo, Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Automation at the University of Salamanca, entitled “Defining AI Governance Strategies for Universities Aligned with the Manifesto for the Safe Use of AI in Education.”
Subsequently, several members of the research team presented the findings related to Specific Objective 2.2. The speakers included Abir Zitouni (ULE), Saida López (UAB), Sergio Reyes (UCM), Carmen Rodríguez (UGR), and Roberto Baelo (ULE).
The session concluded with an open discussion moderated by Roberto Baelo (ULE), providing participants with an opportunity to explore the topics addressed in greater depth and share reflections from different institutional contexts.
The EdU-InA project, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (PID2023-149069OA-I00), aims to promote the integration of generative artificial intelligence in higher education based on scientific evidence, ethics, and equity. Within this framework, the project will continue to develop dissemination activities to share its findings with the academic community.
