Join the education conference, your front-row seat to GEIS. Join live keynotes, panels and fireside chats with global speakers from leading universities and education organizations, exploring how AI is reshaping education, admissions and the future of work.
As AI can now answer almost any question, what should universities cultivate in their students? In this opening keynote, a leader from Peking University shares a framework built on learning, thinking and action power, and how the university has put it into practice through AI teaching agents, redesigned assessment and a rebuilt curriculum. The session also makes the case for global collaboration, drawing on the IDEA alliance of universities, to build shared standards for AI in education. The central message is that technology should serve people and that education must remain a deeply human act.

As artificial intelligence reshapes workforce demand, career pathways, and the long-term value of higher education, universities are being challenged to rethink how they identify potential, prepare students for emerging industries, and define student readiness in an increasingly AI-enabled world.
This session explores how institutions are aligning admissions, academic experiences, employability strategies, and workforce outcomes to prepare students for careers that continue to evolve in real time. From AI-informed admissions review and changing definitions of student potential, to career-readiness strategies, labour market insights, and work-integrated learning, the discussion examines how universities are responding to rapidly shifting workforce realities and employer expectations.
Bringing together perspectives from admissions leadership, workforce strategy, experiential learning, and labour market policy, the session explores what capabilities may become most valuable in the future workforce, how universities are embedding AI literacy and future-ready skills into the student experience, and what students, families, and educators should increasingly look for in a university education designed for the AI era.

Igor GaponovThrough practical case examples, the three sessions explore how institutions are redefining graduate capability, integrating AI and future-focused competencies across disciplines, and developing new models of undergraduate education designed to better prepare students for rapidly evolving industries and AI-enabled workplaces.
How AI is reshaping programming, technical problem-solving, and the future of computing education, and what this may signal for the future of university learning more broadly.
How UCL’s Robotics and Artificial Intelligence MEng is redesigning undergraduate engineering and computing education through the integration of artificial intelligence, robotics, systems thinking, and applied problem-solving. The program reflects a growing shift toward AI-integrated degree models designed to prepare students for emerging industries, intelligent systems, and increasingly AI-enabled workplaces.
This talk shares two examples of staff and student support materials from the University of Southampton. Our focus is on developing critical AI fluency throughout our programmes and working lives and on taking an overt human-centred, AI-enabled, holistic approach.

Pam TurnbullA fast-paced rapid-fire discussion exploring the global value of the OSSD within today’s admissions landscape.
Through concise perspectives from university and admissions leaders across multiple regions, the rapid fire Q&A session examines why the OSSD continues to be recognized by leading institutions worldwide, and how its learning and assessment model aligns with the future-ready capabilities increasingly valued in higher education and the AI-driven workforce.
The discussion will also explore the growing number of international applicants presenting the OSSD globally, the importance of academic quality and student outcomes within internationally delivered curricula, and how innovative pathway partnerships are creating new opportunities for globally minded students.
Three rapid practical case studies exploring how institutions are redesigning teaching, learning, and assessment in response to AI. The discussion focuses on practical shifts in pedagogy, assessment, student engagement, and the learner experience as institutions adapt to the realities of AI-enabled education.
Education leaders are increasingly being asked to make decisions about AI while the evidence base is still emerging. Chris will share what we are learning about AI’s impact on teaching and learning and a framework for evaluating AI's role in K-12 education.
This short talk shows how AI literacy can be taught by actually using AI in the classroom. Starting from the premise that AI is reshaping every industry and that students need to be AI-literate for their future careers, it uses the topic of AI ethics as the vehicle for learning.
Tarsem demonstrates a practical, transferable approach: news-based trigger videos on AI-powered facial recognition (both its benefits and its real-world failures) spark debate about the pros and cons of AI in society. He then moves beyond debate by applying the PAIR framework, setting students a group task built around the problem statement "To what extent does bias in AI-powered facial recognition systems affect fairness, privacy and civil liberties in society?" Working in small groups, students create AI-assisted presentations covering their findings, their experience of interacting with AI tools, their reflections, and how to use GenAI while staying within academic integrity requirements.
Evaluation with a cohort of 25 students, comparing pre- and post-teaching responses, showed improved understanding of algorithmic bias and of how to use AI tools appropriately in their studies.
How can we help students use AI as a tool for learning without letting it do the learning for them? This lightning talk explores Rosedale’s approach to purposeful and responsible AI use through our Think–Do–Think model. We’ll share how AI is intentionally incorporated into selected assignments, alongside our AI Smart Skills mini-lesson series, to help students develop the judgment and skills to use AI effectively. From thinking critically before engaging AI, to using it purposefully, to reflecting on and evaluating its output, Think–Do–Think puts student thinking at the centre of AI-enabled learning.

How schools and universities must evolve to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world.
Artificial intelligence is accelerating a fundamental shift in how knowledge is created, accessed, assessed, and applied, challenging long-standing assumptions about curriculum, credentials, student pathways, institutional value, and the purpose of education itself.
As AI reshapes workforce expectations, learner behaviour, and models of knowledge creation, institutions may need to move beyond incremental innovation toward system-level transformation. What aspects of traditional education may become less relevant? What new models of learning, credentialing, and institutional delivery may emerge? And which human capabilities will become even more essential in an increasingly AI-enabled world?
Bringing together perspectives from higher education, K–12 leadership, policy, and educational transformation, this leadership discussion explores what structural shifts may be necessary for institutions to remain trusted, competitive, and future-ready in the years ahead.

Learning to Choose: Education, Authorship and Responsibility with AI
The keynote will explore how AI is changing the choices people make across education, from admissions and assessment to students’ everyday learning. Drawing on the training I have developed at Oxford, I will consider what written work can reliably tell us, how students’ use of AI can affect the judgments they practise while learning, and how educators can help people make informed choices and take responsibility for their consequences.
