Goal Make AI in schools less hype, more learning science & practice
Why we’re doing this
AI is already in students’ pockets and classrooms – whether schools are ready or not. The real question is not “AI or not ”, but what role AI should play so it strengthens education rather than undermines it.
- Evidence over hypeWe focus on what has been tried in real schools: what worked, what didn’t, and what needs better evaluation.
- Teacher‑centred changeAI changes workflows, attention, assessment, and classroom culture. We want honest conversations about teacher roles, fears, and new skills.
- Governance & trustData protection, student safety, fairness, and regulation (EU + national) are part of the design – not an afterthought.

Conference Topics & Structure
1
Keynote Presentations
The conference opens and is anchored by keynote presentations from invited experts in education, research, and AI.
Keynotes are designed to:
• provide a broader conceptual and scientific perspective
• connect practice with research
• frame ethical and cognitive questions
• challenge simplified narratives about AI in schools
• introduce strategic directions for schools and education systems
Each keynote serves as a reference point for subsequent panels, discussions, and small-group sessions.

Panels
Panel discussions are designed to move beyond individual perspectives and create
a dynamic exchange between different stakeholders in education.
AI in Education Today: From Potential to Practice
This panel explores the current landscape of AI integration in school education.
The discussion focuses on:
• how AI-supported learning is influencing student outcomes
• where AI genuinely enhances learning – and where its impact is overstated
• the changing role of the teacher in AI-enabled classrooms
• responsible implementation at both school and system level
Rather than hype or fear, this session aims to provide a grounded view of how AI is reshaping teaching and learning today.
Assessment, Academic Integrity & AI
This panel explores how generative AI is reshaping assessment practices and redefining academic integrity in schools.
The discussion focuses on:
• how AI challenges traditional models of assessment and feedback
• authorship, ownership, and the boundaries of student work
• transparency and responsible use of AI-generated content
• trust, accountability, and new expectations between teacher and student
Rather than reacting with prohibition or blind acceptance, this session aims to examine how schools can rethink assessment in a way that remains rigorous, fair, and future-oriented.

Demo Labs: EdTech Solutions & Practical Tools
A space for demonstration of AI tools and educational technologies.
Participants will be able to:
• explore real platforms and products
• talk directly to developers
• see practical use cases
• discuss integration into school environments
The Demo Lab is designed as an open interaction zone rather than a traditional exhibition.

Roundtables (small groups)
Four parallel moderated roundtables: parents, teachers, school leaders, EdTech. Each roundtable is moderated, capped (to keep it real), and produces a 1‑page “what we learned” summary shared with all participants.
Parents Homework with AI: helpful or harmful?
Teachers AI‑Supported Teaching: how is the role of teachers changing?
School leaders Freedom to innovate: managing the risks and benefits of AI
EdTech startups From pilot to procurement: what schools actually need to adopt AI
Parents Homework with AI: helpful or harmful?
- Where AI helps practice vs replaces thinking
- What to ask kids / how to spot shallow understanding
- Family rules that reduce conflict and cheating
Teachers AI‑Supported Teaching: how is the role of teachers changing?
- New routines: feedback, scaffolding, tutoring
- Teacher fears: loss of control, workload, trust
- What teacher training should look like in 2026
School leaders Freedom to innovate: managing the risks and benefits of AI
- Guardrails: tools, policies, data and privacy
- When to pilot, when to scale, when to stop
- How to communicate with parents and regulators
EdTech startups From pilot to procurement: what schools actually need to adopt AI
- What evidence schools will accept (and why)
- Implementation realities: training, support, integration
- How to design pilots that lead to adoption in the Baltics
