From 26 to 28 August 2026, the University of Warsaw hosted the “AI for IROs in the Context of the 4EU+ Alliance” Staff Week, organised within the 4EU+ Eternity project. The event brought together 26 staff members working in International Relations Offices at the eight 4EU+ Universities to explore how Artificial Intelligence can support international cooperation and the daily work of University international relations professionals.
The programme combined practical workshops on the use of AI in International Relations Offices with presentations and discussions on AI legislation, AI literacy and training initiatives at partner universities, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in Higher Education. Participants exchanged experiences of how AI tools are already being deployed across the Alliance, explored ways to use them effectively and responsibly, and identified additional digital tools that could help address shared challenges and improve administrative processes.
The Staff Week contributed to strengthening digital competencies among University administrative staff while fostering closer cooperation and the exchange of good practices across the 4EU+ Alliance. By bringing together professionals facing similar challenges in their daily work, the event supported the development of a more digitally skilled and connected international relations community, contributing to the Alliance’s broader ambition of building an integrated European University and a shared digital campus.
