Becoming an AI-Ready University: Lessons from the UK & Europe

AI in European higher education has moved beyond experimentation, but “readiness” now means more than choosing tools. Leaders are being asked to demonstrate clear governance, safe deployment, and academic alignment, while keeping pace with regulatory expectations, institutional risk, and growing demand from staff and students.

‍

In this webinar, a senior leader from a UK university will share how their institution defined AI readiness and translated it into an operational approach: aligning academic leadership and IT, establishing guardrails, and setting a long-term roadmap that supports teaching and learning without compromising trust.

‍

LearnWise will then introduce a practical readiness framework and walk through how institutions can benchmark their current state, identify gaps, and prioritize next steps using the AI Readiness Diagnostic, supported by insights from our AI Support Report.

• Guardrails and decision structures that enable responsible scaling (not slow it down)
• Lessons learned: what they would do differently if starting again
• A practical readiness framework you can apply across leadership, IT, and academic teams
