WG 6 – Empowerment & Stakeholders

What is it about?

AI systems are changing the way teaching and learning take place at universities – and doing so at high speed. The Working Group (WG) 6 is tasked with actively involving all status groups at Hamburg University of Technology in this transformation: students, teaching staff and administrative staff.

To this end, WG 6 systematically assesses the needs, competencies and attitudes in the different groups regarding the use of AI tools in studying and teaching. On this basis, target-group-specific communication and training opportunities are developed. In addition, WG 6 promotes exchange with partners within and outside Hamburg University of Technology.
