AI Leaders Brings Ethical AI to Life Through Hands-On Hackathons

This November, the AI Leaders project is taking ethical AI out of the classroom and into real-world applications with three hands-on hackathons across Europe. These events give students and educators the opportunity to tackle practical business challenges while learning how to implement AI responsibly.

The hackathon dates and locations are:
- 8th November – Barcelona, hosted by UPF Barcelona School of Management
- 18th November – Łódź, hosted by Faculty of Management of University of Lodz
- 21st November – Porto, hosted by University of Porto

At the same time, ACEEU is leading the pilot test of the “AI in Business Management Hackathon Guide”, a step-by-step resource with tips and templates designed to help universities organise impactful AI hackathons. The pilot phase allows AI Leaders partners to test, refine, and maximise the guide’s practical value.

ACEEU wishes all participating universities, students, and educators the best of luck as they explore the intersection of ethical AI and business innovation.

Stay tuned for results, insights, and key takeaways from these exciting events!
