The rise of Generative AI (GenAI) presents significant opportunities to transform the higher education sector through new forms of institutional collaboration and decision-making practices. Universities and academic organisations should take the lead in adopting GenAI technologies in both teaching and institutional management. Emerging technologies can help shape the future of higher education by personalising learning, enhancing human capabilities, and strengthening international connections in the classroom and within institutional operations.
However, the ongoing development of GenAI introduces significant challenges for educators, researchers, and policymakers alike, particularly its ethical application and potential for sustainable solutions, cultural diversity support, and institutional preparedness and acceptance. In this Forum session, we will bring together educational practitioners, researchers, and academic leaders to analyse GenAI’s possibilities and obstacles for supporting instructional practices and strategic decision-making, with a particular focus on the evolving educational setting. Participants are called to consider institutional case studies alongside present challenges they themselves are experiencing, and future possibilities to understand how GenAI applications can benefit higher education.
