The “Improve Digital Transformation: AI-Based Transparency in the New Learning System” Blended Intensive Programme aims to explore how artificial intelligence can support transparency, efficiency, and quality in modern education systems. As higher education increasingly adopts digital technologies, the integration of AI tools in teaching, learning, and academic management raises important questions related to transparency, ethics, accountability, and trust.

This programme brings together students, academics, and professionals from different European universities to examine the role of artificial intelligence in transforming educational processes. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how AI can enhance decision-making, data management, academic integrity, and learning analytics while ensuring transparency and responsible use.

The course will combine online collaborative learning with a short physical mobility, allowing participants to work in international teams, exchange perspectives, and develop practical solutions to real challenges faced by universities during digital transformation.

Key topics include:

• Digital transformation in higher education
• Artificial intelligence in teaching and learning
• Transparency and accountability in AI-based systems
• Ethical and regulatory aspects of AI in education
• Learning analytics and data-driven decision making
• AI tools supporting academic integrity and quality assurance

Through interactive workshops, case studies, and group projects, participants will develop practical skills in analysing and designing transparent AI-supported educational processes. The programme also encourages intercultural collaboration and knowledge exchange between partner universities.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to critically evaluate AI-based educational technologies and propose strategies for implementing transparent, responsible, and innovative digital learning environments.

Componente virtual (online): 21 a 25 de setembro de 2026

Within the framework of the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), our primary objective is to create a collaborative learning environment where participants from different countries can engage in meaningful artistic interaction and intercultural exchange. Through structured academic sessions and performance-based activities, the programme fosters dialogue and shared musical production among international partners.

This programme is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Turkish music while emphasizing diversity and multiculturalism in performance practices. Through workshops, ensemble rehearsals, analytical sessions, and hands-on artistic activities, participants will develop the competencies required to create high-quality intercultural performances.

By engaging with both their own musical traditions and Turkish music, participants will explore techniques for representing cultural narratives and identities through artistic expression. The programme encourages participants to interpret cultural figures and musical heritage through compelling and collaborative performance practices.

At the conclusion of the programme, participants will present their collaborative work in a joint intercultural concert in Türkiye, demonstrating their ability to translate cultural understanding into shared artistic experience.

Participants will complete the programme as culturally informed musicians capable of producing music that celebrates diversity while maintaining high standards of artistic engagement and interaction.

Prerequisites for participation

Academic Background

• Participants are expected to have:
• Basic theoretical knowledge of music (notation, rhythm, harmony, or modal systems)
• Fundamental performance skills in at least one musical instrument or voice
• An interest in intercultural music practices

Prior knowledge of Turkish music or makam theory is not required, as all theoretical foundations will be provided during the virtual preparatory phase.

Language Requirement

Participants should have at least B1-level English proficiency to actively engage in discussions, collaborative ensemble work, and reflection sessions.
