Special Interest Group of Swiss Informatics Society

Our Vision

Transforming fragmented AI initiatives into a coherent ecosystem where field experience meets research, ethics meets innovation, and local practice feeds global exchange.

The Challenge

Teachers experimenting with AI shouldn't work in isolation. Across Switzerland and beyond, practitioners face similar challenges without shared resources, while institutions struggle to develop coherent policies.

Our Response

AI4Ed-SI acts as a neutral connector — bridging educators, researchers, institutions, and stakeholders to transform fragmentation into collaboration, with the learner always at the centre.

Swiss Excellence

Anchored in the Swiss Informatics Society, we bring Swiss precision, neutrality, and multilingual capacity to position responsible AI integration as a national and international reference.

The Ecosystem

Three interconnected pillars working together — from grassroots practice to national coordination.

AI Lunch-Cafés

Local Communities

Peer-learning spaces where educators meet regularly to share practices, experiment together, and co-construct solutions. Started in Geneva, now spreading across cantons.

Athena AI Hub

Connector Platform

A collaborative, decentralised ecosystem that connects local initiatives, shares resources, organises events, and ensures local experimentation feeds collective learning.

AI4Ed-SI

Institutional Anchor

The Special Interest Group within Swiss Informatics Society providing governance, legitimacy, and national coordination. Ethics baked in from the founding statutes.

Our Philosophy

Ethics is not an afterthought — it's built into the format itself.

"Perhaps the real game-changer in Education 4.0 isn't any single AI tool — it's the communities we build to use them wisely."

01

Learner at the Centre

Every initiative, tool, and policy must serve the learner's success and wellbeing first.

02

Bottom-Up Innovation

Real change comes from practitioners — we support, connect, and amplify their work.

03

Ethics Baked In

Data protection, transparency, and compliance embedded from day one — not bolted on later.

04

Open Collaboration

Field experience meets research. Local innovation feeds global exchange.
