Education will never be the same again!
An Online Symposium on 5th December 2023
Co-Hosted by Mid Sweden University and The University of Gävle, Sweden.
This one-day Symposium will bring together a range of thought leaders in the field of Artificial Intelligence who will collectively explore the current state of AI as it is applied in education. The event will feature 3 keynote presentations, each followed by open discussion sessions. Between these keynote presentations there will be a series of round table discussion where attendees will have the opportunity to present their own experiences of AI Challenges and Opportunities. Attendees can choose to have a paper peer-reviewed and published in the Symposium Proceedings or to only present their own experiences. The Symposium also welcomes individuals who wish to observe.
