CA25177 - European Network for Developing and Evaluating the Use of GenAI in Education (ENDUeAI)

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming education and vocational training across Europe, reshaping pedagogical practices, workforce readiness, and lifelong learning ecosystems. While institutional and national initiatives have begun to explore GenAI’s potential, these efforts remain fragmented, often reactive, and insufficiently coordinated, posing risks to equity, pedagogical integrity, and the scalability of effective practices.

A critical gap exists in Europe’s capacity to systematically develop, validate, and scale evidence-based, ethically grounded models for GenAI integration in education. Existing innovations are frequently isolated, lacking cross-national validation, interoperable frameworks, or scientific rigor. This fragmentation undermines the potential for a cohesive European approach to AI literacy, responsible innovation, and inclusive digital transformation in education.

ENDUeAI aims to establish a coordinated, interdisciplinary, and pan-European research network. It will bring together experts in AI, education science, ethics, policy, and digital innovation to co-develop, evaluate, and scale robust, adaptable, and equitable models for GenAI in education. Through interdisciplinary collaborations, we will co-create: a validated GenAI evaluation framework, privacy-compliant middleware standards, explainability benchmarks, inclusive multimodal labs, evidence-based pedagogy and literacy modules, policy-ready ethics & privacy guidelines, and a Horizon Europe funding proposal for long-term sustainability.

ENDUeAI is guided by Agile principles, iterative development, and continuous feedback loops from teachers, trainers, learners, and marginalized communities, ensuring that innovation serves equity and efficiency and that Europe leads in responsible, human-centred AI integration in learning systems.
