EDUFAIR project “Applied AI for Universities: teaching, research and administration” training successfully delivered!

On May 5, 2026, Erasmus+ EDUFAIR (Project no.101175331) brought together academic, administrative staff, management and students of “Tirana College of Technology” and University “Fan Noli”, Korça, for a dynamic hybrid training.

Higher education institutions are actively exploring how AI can support teaching, research, and administrative processes. As this use expands, there is a growing need to connect emerging practices with structured approaches, ensuring that AI is applied in ways that are consistent, transparent, and aligned with institutional priorities.

Delivered by experts from the University of Salento (Italy), the training focused on applied competencies that support the integration of ethical AI in HEIs.

Highlights from the agenda:

• Training Needs Analysis and Competency Frameworks – Prof. As. Valentina Ndou
• Advanced Prompt Engineering: Techniques to Guide, Control, and Evaluate Generative AI – Assistant Professor Gianluca Solazzo Ph.D.
• Learning Design and Methodology – Pedagogical Framework – Prof. As. Valentina Ndou
• AI for defining and managing research and innovation projects – Associated Professor Gianluca Elia
• Practical AI Tools and Applied Modules – Assistant Professor Gianluca Solazzo, Ph.D.

This initiative is part of EDUFAIR’s broader mission to support Western Balkan HEIs in building ethical, structured, transparent, and forward-looking approaches to AI integration.

A big thank you to all participants and expert trainers for making this event a success and for contributing to the future of an ethical AI-driven higher education in the region!
