Erasmus+ is the EU funding programme for education, training, youth and sport for the period 2021-2027. Read more about ERASMUS+ here.
This call funds projects that foster the organisational readiness and capacity of education and training institutions to leverage generative AI.
Projects under this Topic will aim to foster the organisational readiness and capacity of education and training institutions (at any level/s) and, more broadly, education and training systems, to leverage generative AI and ensure its adoption in an effective, inclusive, human-centred and ethical way. To pursue this objective, a strong focus should be placed on involving public education and training authorities (national, regional or local)54, to ensure higher transferability and mainstreaming potential of the outcomes of the projects.
Funded activities can include:
• Methodologically robust research and analysis that would lead to identifying, mapping, and analysing effective existing uses and impact of generative AI in teaching, training, learning, and assessment at any level(s) of education and training;
• Analysis to identify challenges and success factors in the deployment of generative AI;
• Design and piloting of ethical, effective, purposeful, and pedagogically underpinned use of generative AI systems in teaching, training, learning and assessment at any level(s) of education and training;• Development of questionnaires or other assessment methods (including qualitative ones) for evaluating the ethical, effective, purposeful, and pedagogically underpinned use of generative AI systems;
• Design of evidence-based materials and structured use cases of relevant generative AI systems in education and training practices that can be disseminated and easily implemented at organisational level;• Large-scale pilots, user experience and engagement studies in educational settings;
• In-depth interviews with educators, parents, and students, as well as policymakers and other educational stakeholders;
• Development of guidelines on the critical use of generative AI systems in education and training practices that can be disseminated and easily implemented from organisational level to a large scale;
• Evidence-based recommendations to inform further policy initiatives about ethical, effective, purposeful, and pedagogically underpinned use of generative AI systems in teaching, learning and assessment at any level(s) of education and training;
• Analysis of transferability of the project results and sustainability of its results after the end of the project (including in other sectors of education and training);
• Dissemination and networking events (sectoral or cross sectoral) aiming for further exposure of the project work and results and for increasing possibility for transferability
