<< Objectives >>The “AI.4.Educators” project aims to enhance the engagement of educators with the AI field, through a multidisciplinary and holistic approach. To this end, it focuses on the technological aspects of AI, but also on the regulatory initiatives of the EU about AI and on the ethical values which should be embedded in the AI systems. The project also seeks to train educators on AI developments, with the use of digital tools and other interactive and innovative training methods.<< Implementation >>- Development of a digital platform and a digital survey section for hosting the project and detecting the training needs of educators on AI.- Development of AI training material by creating (i) a Practical, (ii) a Legal, and (iii) an Ethical AI Roadmap for presenting the current AI techniques and the parallel European discourse about the legal and the ethical implications of AI.- Development of an AI educational program including e-courses for the educators.<< Results >>The project will have the following results:- Digital Platform of the Project.- Digital Survey for Detecting Training Needs of Educators on AI.- AI Training Material including (i) a Practical, (ii) a Legal, and (iii) an Ethical AI Roadmap.- AI educational program including e-courses.- Digital survey for evaluation of the project.

<< Objectives >>The Project foresees to: - Develop cultural interactions and dialogue through sharing and exchanging of knowledge and expertise on natural products from origin and host countries, contributing to the development of inclusive, acceptive communities - Provide flexible yet comprehensive upskilling opportunities to young people with migrant background, and potentially other socially marginalised groups, - Support the continuous professional and personal development of trainers working in inclusion<< Implementation >>The partnership will develop:- The NaturalOrigins Training Package, Workshop and Training and Policy recommendations, which consist our results- Dissemination activities that will reach out to our target groups- Monitoring and evaluation activities, an important part of our project.- Multiplier Events that will be open for everyone interested- 2 Transnational Project Meetings- One intensive training in Italy<< Results >>- The “NaturalOrigins Training Package” will include two parts of five units each, comprising 30 hours of training in total.- The “NaturalOrigins Train-the-Trainer Manual”- The “NaturalOrigins Online Learning Space” that will provide instant access to both previously mentioned result- The “NaturalOrigins Workshops and Training”- The Policy Recommendations Paper for trainers and relevant organisations

"Higher Education Classroom Of the Future (HECOF) project will be implemented by a mixed partnership of organisations from different sectors that have the capacity to innovate in terms of digital tools and teaching and learning methods for the higher education systems, by leveraging the power of AI and machine learning for student assessment and adaptive learning based on individual learner’s performance and behavior. The main goal of the HECOF initiative is to create systemic change in higher education teaching practice and national reforms in education by developing and testing an innovative personalised, adaptive way of teaching that exploit the digital data from students' learning activity in immersive environments and use computational analysis techniques from data science and AI. The project wil design and develop this learning system with a conceptual focus on ""Chemical Engineering"" academic discipline and will engage teaching staff and students from two pilot universties in its desing and pilot testing. HECOF also wants to foster the development and uptake of safe and lawful AI that respects fundamental rights by providing insights on ethical and legal issues around the design of the system. It will drive the policy agenda by formulating recommendations on the role and use of AI for personalised, adaptive learningHECOF technology has a clear potential to be mainstreamed in vocational education and training sector for employees in chemical engineering sector. Therefore, HECOF will support the first strategic priority of the Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027), the development of a high-performing digital education ecosystem, by building capacity and critical understanding in all type of education and training institutions on how to exploit the opportunities offered by digital technologies for teaching and learning at all levels and for all sectors and to develop and implement digital transformation plans of educational institutions."

"<< Objectives >>No one is left behind in the digital transformation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the nature of work: jobs will be created, others will disappear, most will be transformed. Modernisation of education, at all levels, should be a priority for governments. All Europeans should have every opportunity to acquire the skills they need. Talent should be nurtured, gender balance and diversity encouraged"" while at the same time ensuring a high level of data protection, digital rights and ethic<< Implementation >>Handbook for Understanding Ethics in the field data and AIBased on a research on several levels to identify the gaps in adult education with regard to AI and data ethics in particular.

ITHACA project aims to better understand the complexities and controversies for applying AI into the field of civic participation and stimulate new and responsible practices of research and innovation that anchor AI technologies design in human rights, values and principles, and moral and ethical reflection.The project vision is to contribute to the maximisation of the possible positive impact of AI on the functioning of democratic institutions and processes by developing and testing of a human centric Artificially Intelligent and Ethics by Design online discussion platform for civic participation in local governance, which incorporates human and social interpretations into the design process to ensure that AI decision-making processes are explainable, transparent and fair. ITHACA will pay particular attention to the needs and voices of citizens from vulnerable groups, with a view to ensuring that human rights impacts stemming from the design, development and ongoing deployment of algorithmic systems are comprehensively monitored, debated and addressed. Through its pilot activities in two different EU countries, ITHACA plans to assess the ability of AI to enhance citizens participation in the local governance while preventing or minimizing possible adverse effects stemming from unregulated use of AI and empowering citizens with knowledge about the AI model involved. ITHACA will also provide scalable tools for the identification of security risks and threats and for conformity with the Fairness principle and Privacy principle in AI-based systems and big data for civic engagement applications. Based on its implementation experiences, the project will define a data governance framework with relevant ethical principles and practices to be implemented in the design, development, deployment process for AI civic engagement platforms as well as policy recommendations on philosophical, legal and ethical values that should be embedded in the development of such platforms.
