AI in Higher Education - Workshop in Budapest

Budapest revealed secrets about AI in Education, together we could find them out. What you imagine, might be wrong. The rapid integration of AI into technical higher education is a turning point, requiring new teaching approaches and a broader societal debate about what learning we value. Before the sessions even started, we spent time polishing our new whitepaper, “AI in Technical Higher Education - How AI Tools Change Teaching Methodology”. Then Budapest delivered the perfect reality check: a sharp audience, real questions and a partner that moves fast. Together with evosoft, we hosted our workshop “AI in Higher Education” and dived into what’s actually changing in universities right now: - How students use AI (and what they use it for) - The upside and risk of cognitive offloading - The motivation paradox: AI as a barrier-breaker and sometimes a curiosity killer - Why teaching must shift from “knowledge transfer” to competence cultivation Huge thanks for the smooth collaboration and warm welcome to Adam Szigeti and Katalin Herczeg. The format was intentionally interactive: input sessions, World Café discussions across three forums and a hands-on methodology exchange that turned ideas into actionable teaching concepts. Also, we hosted a panel discussion. Big thanks for participating to György Eigner (Óbuda University), Pal Varga ,(Budapest University of Technology and Economics), Nagy Daniel (BEST Budapest), Szabolcs Szőts (evosoft), Marta Turcsanyi-Szabo (Eötvös Loránd University) and Daniel Varga (evosoft)! The other day, we kept the momentum going with an Inspiration Day, introducing students to AI for the https://compsa.eu/ challenge. Big thanks to Péter Laposa for the organisation! Big thanks to the AI Phase project crew behind this: Seong-Min Jun, Jul Rebstock, Simon Bunyatov, Georgy Chomakhashvili. One takeaway: evosoft supports Hungary in turning AI into a real advantage. They’re building the bridge between education and industry, moving with strategy and speed. They’re making AI readiness real. #AIinEducation #evosoft #EdTech #AIPhase #Hungary #Innovation #UniversityIndustry
