Sine Zambach

Assistant Professor, CBS Denmark.

Sine Zambach is an Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business school (CBS) and holds a PhD in computer science. Her primary research areas includes among others Learning Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence, and Sine is the auther of the books: "AI i Gymnasiet" and "Kvinde kend din kode".

"What will be AI’s role in future education?” Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that will significantly impact the education system. However, how do we ensure that students achieve the necessary learning, and which competencies will be crucial in the future? Sine Zambach will share insights from her book “AI in Gymnasiet” (AI in high school) and present her research on machine learning and artificial intelligence in primary schools.

She will also discuss her early experiments with AI in teaching at CBS and continuing education.

"Reforming Education at Chalmers University of Technology"

This presentation explores how the Tracks Initiative at Chalmers redefines education by fostering interdisciplinary skills and dynamic collaboration among students, faculty, and external partners.

In Chalmers Tracks, students are empowered to cultivate interdisciplinary competencies through individualized study paths. Students engage in elective or extra-curricular courses and projects aligned with their research, and/or societal interests, or career goals. These courses, proposed by faculty or external stakeholders, transcend traditional academic boundaries welcoming students from BSc to PhD levels, alumni, and professionals from all disciplines of engineering and related fields. Tracks also aims to swiftly adapt education to incorporate cutting-edge technologies, emerging materials, and innovative concepts. At its core, Tracks includes Fuse Innovation Lab, providing a collaborative environment for creativity and innovation among students, faculty, industry, and public sector. Finally, Tracks' broader impact on Chalmers' educational landscape fostering a culture of creativity, innovation, and collaboration is highlighted.

Professor dr. ir. Hans Hellendoorn

Hans is Pro Vice Rector Magnificus Joint Education Affairs, head of the Joint Interdisciplinary Project track and initiator/responsable for the project ’Streetwise learning with Society”. This innovative mode of teaching provides students with authentic transdisciplinary learning experiences.

In 2021 he implement strategic innovation on university level. In this role, he is responsible for all crossfaculty education activities – including minors, the honours program, joint degrees with Leiden and Rotterdam – as well as the TU Delft’s vision on Master Education and Teaching and Learning. Moreover, he initiated the Joint Interdisciplinary Project, a 15EC Master project, where groups of four students from different programmes and universities cooperate to solve authentic problems from industry or local authorities. Over 200 students participate yearly, and more than 60 (inter)national companies, hospitals, foundations, and local authorities are involved.

Professor of Sustainable Talent Development at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands.

Ellens research focus areas are: professional development/HRD, lifelong learning, boundary-crossing learning communities, and educational innovation. She has published books for the vocational practice and has published in various scientific journals. She participates in (inter)national networks aiming at the renewal of learning and development for complex transitions. She is a board member of the International Association for Continuing Engineering Education (IACEE).
