The second awarded project Gen AISA (The Generative AI Skills Academy), valued at AUD$2.4M, is being led by the University of Patras (Greece) with a network of research insitutions in Greece, Bulgaria, Spain, Finland and Lithuania.
The three-year project aims to address the skills gap in generative AI by designing, developing and testing two curricula, one for higher education and another for vocational education and training.
The higher education curriculum will provide learners with knowledge and skills for designing and developing generative AI solutions, while the vocational education and training curriculum aims to provide learners with knowledge and skills for the efficient, safe and ethical use of generative AI solutions.
RMIT Europe’s contribution will be led by RMIT’s Professor Karin Verspoor with RMIT Europe's Senior Advisor, Education, Spiros Soulis.
"We'll be contributing to GenAISA through design and integration of micro-credentials into curricula and the design of the training methodology for self-paced asynchronous online courses (MOOCs) and synchronous online training," Verspoor and Soulis said.
"The project will create an ecosystem for the co-design and co-development of innovative curricula aiming to address talent and skills development at disruptive (deep tech) technologies."
