Time: from 12:00-18:30 (UTC +5)

Forum's language: English

Platform: Microsoft Teams

Nazarbayev University Student Government and Integrity Project host the Fourth Virtual Integrity Student Forum. We will explore Kazakhstani and international academic and non-academic integrity experiences, the integrity challenges we face on a daily basis, best practices for turning challenges into opportunities, and new approaches to student leadership in the Artificial Intelligence context. A feature of the Forum,the Integrity Project and NU Student Government is the primary role of students’ voices.
The Forum’s Program will emphasize how Artificial Intelligence shifts paradigm in education, AI potential benefits and drawbacks, and a vital role of integrity and ethics in promoting students’ learning and development. We will do it through information sessions to explore and analyze ethical challenges presented by emerging technologies, policy-design and educational organizations’ response, and how AI may contribute to an inclusive learning environment.
The Forum continues a series of Integrity Project’s and NU Student Government’s regular events and activities and will be essential for students and professionals who aim to develop a network of scholars-professionals-university and high school students with a common interest in academic and professional integrity and leading change.

Important!
The Nazarbayev University Student Government and Integrity Project will announce a contest among high school and university students exclusively among registered and attending participants. Join us to learn more.
