The Erasmus+ funded AI-Literate project will be featured at the upcoming Media & Learning Conference 2026, taking place on 17 and 18 June in Leuven, Belgium, with two presentations dedicated to AI literacy and higher education.
On the first day of the conference, Lucia Mesquita, from Lusófona University/CICANT, will participate in the session “Impact of AI on institutional planning when it comes to educational media production and support”. Her presentation, titled “Beyond the Tool: Mapping Evidence-Based and Responsible AI Technology Use in Higher Education”, will introduce the empirical mapping phase of the AI-Literate project.
The presentation examines how generative AI technologies are currently adopted, governed, and understood in higher education across five European countries. It will also present an analytical framework for assessing AI technologies in relation to ethics, AI literacy, disinformation, equity, and learning quality, while identifying emerging challenges and patterns in AI adoption across Europe.
On the second day, Nicola Bruno and Stefano Moriggi will present in the session “AI-driven co-creation”. Their presentation, “Co-Designing AI Literacy: A European Multi-Partner Approach to Creating a Blended Learning Programme on GenAI and Disinformation”, focuses on the collaborative development of AI literacy courses by educators from five European countries.
The session will explore how the consortium is designing educational approaches that support students in critically engaging with AI-generated content, disinformation, and synthetic media. It will also highlight practical methodologies for cross-institutional course co-design, including collaborative workflows, verification strategies, and the integration of research findings into AI literacy education.
Together, the two presentations reinforce the importance of responsible, collaborative, and evidence-based approaches to AI literacy in higher education, while showcasing the ongoing work developed within the AI-Literate project.
