The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Future of Education: Challenges and Opportunities
The rapid advancement of computing technologies and big data processing techniques have facilitated the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education (AIED). New tools and services driven by AI techniques such as machine learning  are being deployed in chatbots, intelligent tutoring systems, automated grading systems, and other algorithmic facilitated  decision systems in the education sector. The recent release of tools such as ChatGPT3 indicates that AI is expected to  play an increasingly central role in the provision of education in K-12 as well as Higher Education contexts.
In this workshop, we will introduce and discuss aspects related to the opportunities and challenges associated  with the role of AI in education. Participants will also be able to do some hands-on experimentation with AI-based tools.
We will focus not only on pedagogical, technical and organizacional issues but also on ethical questions particularly focusing  on equity, responsibility, fairness and transparency in the development and deployment of AIED.

There are a number of different ways to travel to Växjö. You can either take the train to Växjö Central or travel by air to Växjö Småland Airport.

If you travel by train to Växjö you will reach Växjö Central located in the city centre. Travelling by train from Stockholm Central to Växjö Central takes roughly 3.5 hours.

If you instead choose to travel by air, you can search for a flight to Växjö Småland Airport to find a suitable flight connection. You can also reach Växjö via flight to Copenhagen Airport/Kastrup and connecting direct train to Växjö Central (roughly 2.5 hours).

Travel in Växjö
For travel from Växjö Central or Växjö Småland Airport to Linnaeus University we recommend either bus or taxi.

By bus
When travelling by bus from Växjö Central to Linnaeus University, bus number 3, direction “Universitetet”, is the best option. However, there are also other bus routes that pass by one of the university’s bus stops or bus stops nearby, for instance, route number 1 and 5, which take you to Teleborg Centrum, some 8–10 minutes’ walk from the university’s campus.

Bus number 4 will take you from Växjö Småland Airport to Växjö Central where you can change to bus to get to Linnaeus University.

Bus tickets are purchased either on the bus with a debit card or you can download the travel app “Länstrafiken Kronoberg” and purchase your ticket in the app, which will give you a 10% discount on your ticket. You use your debit card to pay in the app.

By bicycle
In case you prefer a bicycle, many hotels can offer this. It takes roughly 20 minutes with a bicycle from the city centre to Linnaeus University’s campus.

By taxi
Most taxi companies start from Södra Bantorget at World Trade Center which means you can find available taxis here.

By car
There is a relative shortage of parking spaces on campus and all are subject to a charge. Parking spaces are marked on the map below.

Here you will find a map of Linnaeus University in Växjö: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/contact-and-visit-us/

The European University for Well-Being, EUniWell, consists of a number of European universities that have entered into a strategic university-wide collaboration. Through collaboration within high-quality education and research, we want to contribute to an environment for the people of Europe and their global neighbours that creates opportunities for good education, social responsibility, health, inclusion, and diversity – all important factors to create well-being.

The universities that are part of EUniWell are:

• University of Birmingham, Great Britain
• University of Cologne, Germany
• University of Florence, Italy
• University of Konstanz, Germany
• University of Murcia, Spain
• Nantes University, France
• University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain
• Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary
• Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine
• Linnaeus University, Sweden

Our universities are linked by a common vision where, through EUniWell, we aim to improve, measure and balance the well-being of individuals, society and the environment - locally and globally. We base this on our shared values of being democratic, inclusive, research-based, interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial and co-creative.

EUniWell is one of the European university alliances supported by the European Commission, through a strategic programme to boost the competitiveness of European universities. The pilot project will run until 31 October 2023, and we have applied to the European Commission to extend the project for a further four years.
