Educational institutions and summits are increasingly prioritizing the integration of artificial intelligence and digital transformation into their frameworks.

In late September 2026, upcoming summits in Dubai and Brussels were announced to address the design of future-ready schools, focusing on smart campuses, AI integration, and sustainable infrastructure. The Brussels event specifically aims to present solutions for ‘Schools for Tomorrow: fit for the era of AI’.

Simultaneously, universities in the United States and the Netherlands have launched their academic years with similar themes. The University of Maine at Augusta established ‘Critical Thinking in the Age of AI’ as its academic theme, while Maastricht University announced that its priority groups will focus on the use of AI in education alongside sustainability and student wellbeing.
