FORCE-AI, Fostering Opportunities, Resources, and Capabilities in AI for Effective Management of Higher Education Institutions
FORCE-AI (Fostering Opportunities, Resources, and Capabilities in AI for Effective Management of Higher Education Institutions) is a dynamic Erasmus+ initiative (running from October 2024 to March 2027) that empowers higher education institutions (HEIs) to strategically harness Artificial Intelligence.
The project introduces the innovative role of AI Manager for Higher Education (AIM4HE), acting as a pivotal bridge between technical and institutional stakeholders to drive ethical, purposeful AI integration.
Core outcomes include an AI readiness survey, the establishment of a professional profile and micro-credential for AIM4HE, a suite of training modules, and an open-access OER database—collectively strengthening digital readiness and institutional resilience.
The consortium is led by Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM, Germany) and includes contributions from several European institutions such as RISEBA (Latvia), University of Twente (Netherlands), Anadolu University (Türkiye), AKAD University (Germany), Özyeğin University (Türkiye), the European Association for Educational Technology in Higher Education (EDTECH-U), and the Advanced Information Society Association (AISA).
