Centre colleagues Serdar Abaci and Jen Ross are partners to the Una Europa Seed Funding project “Artificial Intelligence & Humanities (101): Developing a Humanities Syllabus for AI & the Digital at Una Europa”.
This project is led by Cillian Ó Fathaigh (Jagiellonian University, Poland) and involves 32 academics from seven Una Europa universities, featuring a distinctly interdisciplinary team from eight institutes/centres related to Humanities discipline. Alongside colleagues Serdar Abaci and Jen Ross from the Centre for Research in Digital Education, Lisa Otty (Director of Centre for Data, Culture & Society), and Katie Pleming (Lecturer in European Languages and Cultures) from the University of Edinburgh will contribute to the project.
AIHUMS101 aims to identify how students in Higher Education can be prepared to take part in the digital transformation of the Humanities, and how Una Europa institutions can achieve this objective. The project will:
- Conduct a survey of current teaching provision on AI and digitalization within the Humanities across all 11 Una Europa universities.
- Design an introductory course to AI and the digital for Humanities students.
- Produce a toolkit to help integrate AI into existing courses.
- Complete a major grant application to support the network in 2026.
The project will consist of two hybrid workshops (Bologna, Italy & Krakow, Poland), alongside four online meetings, and an online launch event for all of Una Europa partners.
