The European University on AI in Curricula, Smart UniverCity and (Return) Mobility (EUonAIR) is an ambitious alliance of 10 business and technical universities dedicated to creating a new responsible and collaborative AI model in education. This alliance aims to reshape learning, research, and working methods, aligning them with the current and future requirements of our educational systems and wider ecosystems.
EUonAIR recognizes the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in addressing complex issues like mobility and migration. The alliance is committed to leveraging AI responsibly and innovatively to develop inclusive, sustainable, and innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges.
This proposal outlines a comprehensive vision and foundation for the next four years and beyond, positioning EUonAIR as a lighthouse European University Initiative (EUI) Alliance. The alliance aims to contribute significantly to the overarching goals of the European Universities Initiative call and the enhancement of both European society and its European Education and Research Area.
The European Universities initiative, funded by the EU, is essential in creating a more interconnected and competitive European higher education area. This initiative seeks to foster deep transnational cooperation among universities, making it easier for students, faculty, and researchers to move and collaborate across countries. By financing alliances like EUonAIR, the EU aims to enhance academic educational innovation, facilitate inclusive and responsible educational practices, and prepare institutions for digital and technological advancements, including AI integration. Supporting this initiative financially allows the EU to promote educational inclusivity and address the demand for skills aligned with a rapidly changing labour market. It also helps align education systems across member states, supporting Europe’s goals for a more digitally resilient, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive society which without inter-university collaboration would not be possible, feasible and sustainable.
