International Staff Week at the Silesian University of Technology from the 22nd to the 24th October 2025 on the topic AI and Higher education

With artificial intelligence reshaping industries and redefining the skills needed for success at an unprecedented pace, higher education faces a monumental challenge: how to prepare students for a world dominated by rapidly changing technology – technology that is completely altering the current status quo. Project-Based Learning (PBL) offers students a simple yet powerful solution – a learning experience that immerses them in real-world tasks mirroring the intricacies of modern life. This approach emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation – qualities that AI cannot easily replicate, at least not yet. By engaging with hands-on, problem-solving experiences, students develop the adaptability and creativity essential for thriving in an AI-dominated future. In this year’s International Staff Training Week (ISTW) we will discuss these issues and give you a chance to meet teachers, researchers and practitioners who are working with the role of pedagogy, information literacy and project-based learning in a world that is increasingly driven by AI.
