Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping higher education, bringing new opportunities alongside important questions about governance, implementation, and institutional readiness. For smaller and specialist providers, the challenge is not simply whether to adopt AI, but how to do so thoughtfully, proportionately, and within existing resources.

This interactive workshop is designed for institutions that are moving beyond initial awareness and beginning to embed AI into their strategic and operational thinking. Together, participants will explore practical approaches to AI adoption, governance, and staff capability, considering what works for institutions without the dedicated teams and resources available to larger universities.

Drawing on sector insights and peer discussion, the session will provide an opportunity to reflect on current challenges, share experiences, and develop practical approaches that can be applied within participants' own institutional contexts.
