Brief Bio Dr. Thorsten Händler heads the department for Digital Transformation at the Ferdinand Porsche Mobile University of Applied Sciences (FERNFH), Austria. His research interests cover fields of Artificial Intelligence, Information Systems, and Software Engineering, including agentic AI & multi-agent systems, AI decision dynamics, software architectures, HCI, process and knowledge management, as well as AI education & training. He holds a PhD in Information Systems from Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), Austria.

SCOPE

Advancing capabilities of generative AI pose existential challenges to structures, roles, practices, and narratives established in higher education. Simultaneously, developments ranging from LLM-based chatbots, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems to adaptive tutoring systems and AI-supported analytics also open transformative opportunities for universities to redefine teaching, learning, competencies, assessment, academic integrity, and strategic governance.

This Special Session AI4HE addresses these challenges and opportunities by exploring the meaningful integration of AI in universities by combining technological, organizational and educational perspectives. We welcome research on generative AI, intelligent agents and tutors, AI-supported assessment and feedback, institutional transformation, AI literacy, and competence frameworks. The session embraces diverse approaches including conceptual work, theoretical models, empirical studies, case reports, and technical implementations.
