Laufzeit: 2026 - 2029

Projektpartner: Stifterverband, RWTH Aachen, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI), Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW), Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (HHU), FernUniversität in Hagen (NRW), Technische Universität München (TUM), Universität Tübingen

Förderer: Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMFTR)

Mit dem EU AI Act sind neue Anforderungen für den kompetenten Einsatz von KI im Hochschulbereich verbindlich geworden. Das Projekt „KI-Kompetenzen an Hochschulen stärken“ greift diese Anforderungen auf und schafft kostenlose Angebote für alle Statusgruppen an Hochschulen in Deutschland. Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt des bundesweiten Konsortiums unter Leitung des Stifterverbandes liegt auf institutionen- und länderübergreifenden Synergien und strategischen Weichenstellungen, um KI-Kompetenzen dauerhaft in Studium, Lehre und Verwaltung zu verankern. Das Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt fördert das Vorhaben im Rahmen der Hightech Agenda Deutschland.
