This one-day meeting will be a source of inspiration for anyone interested in educational reform, innovation, and improving learning outcomes through design thinking and AI.

It offers a unique opportunity for educators and researchers in higher education to gain fresh insights, learn from peers, and engage in thought-provoking discussions about design thinking and the impact of innovative teaching methods. Whether you are presenting or simply attending, your participation will contribute to a day full of knowledge sharing and collaboration.

What to expect from this exciting day?

- Keynote Speaker: “You will get inspired by Foodpairing (www.foodpairing.com), a Ghent based company that uses AI to create new food solutions for clients such as Pepsico, Nestlé, Unilever, Kellogg’s and many others - with the use of AI-tools for their entire design thinking process.
Foodpairing will gladly share some cases, best-practices and their experience.”

- Parallel Workshops: We will have two rounds of parallel workshop sessions where approved abstracts will be presented. This is your chance to explore real-world examples of design thinking in education. Get inspired by colleagues who are opening up their classrooms, sharing their practices, the contexts, challenges, and successes of implementing design thinking.

- Closing Session and Networking Event: The conference will conclude with a session summarizing the key learnings of the day, followed by a networking event. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with other participants, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations.
