Impact of AI in Higher Education Institutions- Perspectives for Administration and Project Management
The Polytechnic University of Leiria is proud to host the Open Staff Week 2025, welcoming 35 participants from 16 European countries to explore the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the administration and project management of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
This event, focusing on the theme “Impact of AI in Higher Education Institutions: Perspectives for Administration and Project Management,” aims to highlight how AI technologies are reshaping the operational landscape of universities.
AI is becoming an essential tool for improving administrative efficiency, enhancing strategic planning, and driving innovation in project execution. From automating administrative tasks to utilizing predictive analytics for decision-making, AI is enabling HEIs to streamline processes and achieve better outcomes.
In the realm of project management, AI is offering improved resource allocation, optimized timelines, and effective risk mitigation, ensuring the successful implementation of academic and infrastructural projects.
However, the integration of AI also brings significant challenges, including ethical concerns, data security, and the need for proper staff training. These issues will be thoroughly addressed throughout the week, providing participants with valuable insights into how AI can revolutionize both administration and project management in higher education.
With participation exceeding expectations, this event promises a week full of learning, professional exchange, and a unique opportunity to also experience the rich culture of this region.
