Integrating AI learning into institutions: Lessons learned from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics
16 June 2026
The integration of cutting-edge AI education into traditional academic programmes is a challenge many universities face. It’s a fine balancing act between innovation with accreditation, theory with practice, and flexibility with structure. At the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics took on this challenge headfirst by piloting the ARISA project within its MSc in Computer Engineering programme. What results is a successful, scalable model for embedding industry-relevant AI skills into formal higher education. In this interview, Dr. Bálint Gyires-Tóth at BME develops on the university’s journey from planning to implementation and refinement. How did BME align ARISA’s modular learning outcomes with its existing curriculum? What lessons emerged? How can the experience be replicated for institutions ready to integrate AI learning in their courses/training? With over 400 students participating across two pilot rounds, BME’s story offers valuable insights into the scalability and effectiveness of integrating industry-relevant AI competencies into formal academic programmes.

Keeping Pace with AI: ARISA Updates the AI Skills Strategy for Europe
21 April 2026
The ARISA AI Skills Strategy for Europe got an important update in 2025, reflecting just how fast artificial intelligence is evolving and how quickly its role in the workplace is changing. While earlier efforts focused on helping organisations adopt AI, the focus has now shifted toward scaling its use, integrating it into organisational workflows and processes, and making sure it delivers real value. This latest update captures the key changes shaping the AI landscape – from the rise of generative and agentic AI to the growing need for responsible and ethical use – and translates them into clear priorities for skills development across Europe.
