ESCP Business School has announced the AI in Higher Education Summit 2026, taking place in Paris from 17 to 18 March 2026. The international summit will convene academics, educators, innovators, and policy-makers to address one of the most pressing questions facing universities today: how should higher education evolve in an AI-driven world?
Artificial intelligence is reshaping teaching, research, and administration across universities worldwide. The Summit offers a collaborative platform to exchange ideas, present innovations, and define strategies for integrating AI into academic practice responsibly and effectively. Participants will engage in high-level debates, practical case studies, and strategic roundtables designed to foster institutional transformation in the age of AI.
Program highlights include a White-Paper Keynote presenting the 2026 AI in Higher Education state-of-the-art report, thematic tracks on teaching & learning, research & scholarship, and administration & strategy, as well as discussions on ethics, pedagogy, and institutional leadership. A business-model roundtable and closing synthesis will help shape the next steps for universities across Europe and beyond.
The Summit also includes a Call for Contributions, inviting case studies, research papers, and demonstrations that showcase AI-enhanced approaches in higher education. Selected submissions will be published in the official proceedings and featured during the event’s sessions.
Designed for faculty, researchers, higher education leaders, and industry partners, the summit will be held in English and emphasizes co-creation and strategic dialogue to define the future of learning in an AI era.
