Ulysseus R&I Conference 2026: Applied AI in Business and Education: Research, Innovation, and Responsibility

On 6 October 2026 join us in Helsinki for a Ulysseus R&I Conference 2026 to explore current trends in the applied AI in business and education: research, innovation, and responsibility. The conference will play a vital role in strengthening research networks, supporting innovation-driven territorial transformation, and showcasing Ulysseus as a driver of excellence in European R&I cooperation.

Events Highlights

The conference addresses how applied AI can:

• provide inspirational keynote talks,
• address the current challenges on how applied AI can support innovation (in business models, processes, and decision-making), enhance teaching, learning, and assessment (in higher education) and be developed and implemented in responsible, human-centred ways,
• give a platform for joint Ulysseus R&I groups in the conference’ topics to showcase the joint R&I activities they conducted within the Ulysseus European University.
• encourage students and young researchers to present and discuss their research in an open, supportive setting, direct exchange with senior researchers, practitioners, and innovation actors and access to networking and matchmaking sessions aimed at fostering cross-institutional and interdisciplinary cooperation within Ulysseus European University.

The conference will be back-to-back followed up by the presentation of the Ulysseus Innovation Hub of Applied AI for Business and Education (7-8 October) which will showcase the activities of the Haaga-Helia’s innovation Hub. It will include presentations of ongoing European R&I activities, applied AI initiatives, and living lab and incubator activities, while creating opportunities for networking, interdisciplinary exchange, matchmaking, and future collaboration within the Ulysseus European University alliance and wider innovation ecosystem.

When: 06 October 2026 | 09:00 - 16:00 

Where: Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, Helsinki, Finland 

Researchers, innovators, start-ups, students, and regional stakeholders will have an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, showcase results, and forge new partnerships in three thematic tracks:

1️⃣ Track 1: Applied AI in Business – use cases, innovation processes, and organisational change
2️⃣ Track 2: AI in Education – teaching (with) AI, learning analytics, assessment, and faculty development
3️⃣ Track 3: Sustainability, Responsibility, and Trust – Bias, transparency, and (societal) implications 

Researchers from joint Ulysseus R&I groups in the topics of the Conference are more than encourage to participate at the Conference, using of the approved grants from the seed funding programme is advised.
