The possibilities and challenges of actually doing that are discussed during this session. \n10:10 Keynote: Nils Lindh\, Environmental Coordinator\, Borås University\, Sweden“If universities don´t stand up to follow climate researchers’ recommendations – then who will?”How the university of Borås did to break the trend of increased emissions from carbon dioxid. \n11:10 Case study no 1\, Jesse Schrage\, NORCE\, Research Institute\, NorwayParis-compliant targets to governance tools: What can universities learn from cities insights from urban climate governance \n11:35 Case study no 2\, GreenSenze\, Origo/KPMG Iceland“Measuring carbon footprint of purchases by invoices – the example of Reykjavik University” \n12:00 Lunch \n13:00 Keynote: Daniel Pargman\, KTH\, Sweden“Academic mobility now and in the future – Who gets to fly?” \nAcademic flying constitutes a large part of the carbon emissions at a research intensive university and we need to reduce our flying if we are to live up to the Paris Agreement and reach our climate targets. But how? The research project “Decreased CO2-emissions in flight-intensive organisations” had access to all data about everything at KTH; who flies when\, where and why. We used this information as input to workshops at different departments to raise awareness and work with these issues\, e.g. how can universities reduce ”unnecessary” flying and reach their climate targets and what does this mean for me as a researcher? \n14:00 Coffee \nTheme 2Cost awareness – an emerging demandThe universities are under pressure to justify their costs and therefore it is important with transparency and insight – but this comes with the risk of increased bureaucracy. How we handle this demand will be explored during this session. \n14:30 Keynote: Shirin Ahlbäck Öberg\, Professor at Dept of Government\, Uppsala University; Sweden“Increased control and increased bureaucratization” \n15:30 Case study no 1\, OsloMet – Controller Siren Linnestad\, OsloMet\, Norway“Cost allocation in education; how to meet the university’s need for economic insigh” \n15:50 Short break \n16:00 Case study no 2\, Lasse Bjerg\, Aarhus University\,“Covering project related indirect costs with external funding” \nSix of the big private funds in Denmark have agreed to partly cover indirect costs related to the research projects that they fund at Danish universities. The six funds account for more than a quarter of the total external funding for Aarhus University\, and their impact on the university economy has increased in recent years. With the agreement\, it has become significantly more sustainable to increase the dependance on private funding. The talk will cover the process for getting to the final agreement\, as well as the analyses that went into estimating the indirect costs. \n16:45 Closing of day 1 \n17:00 Guided tour of Helsinki University \n19:00 Conference dinner \n— \nFriday\, May 23rd\nTheme 3Demands for digital tools and transformationIn this session we are looking into how to utilize digital tools in our daily work. We also learn more about AI-literacy and why it is essential to understand how AI works. \n08:30 Keynote: Laura Ruotsalainen\, Where is AI heading and what should we know about it?Laura Ruotsalainen is a professor in Computer Science at the University of Helsinki\, she is a member of the steering group of the Finnish Center for AI (FCAI) and leads a FCAI Highlight area called AI for Sustainability. She is also vice chair of the newly founded Ellis Institute Finland.Laura will give us a researcher point of view of where we are and where we are heading with AI and what are the things that everyone should know about AI at the moment. \n09:25 “AI in Finance and Accounting”\, Menno Gijzen\, PwCMenno Gijzen is a Senior Manager Data & Technology at PwC\, and he supports finance functions going through digital transformations.Menno will present the outcomes of a survey conducted last autumn with large Finnish companies “AI in Finance and Accounting”. The outcomes of this survey show where finance functions are in their journey of adopting AI\, which finance processes have the most potential\, and what use-cases are on the roadmap. Furthermore\, we look at how investments are made\, and what considerations the companies have with AI implementation. \n10:05 Coffee \n10:25 Case study: University of Helsinki – intelligent automation\, Elina Rajuvaara\, expert RPA & AIThe University of Helsinki (UH) has been utilizing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) since 2018 to automate repetitive tasks. Today\, an in-house Intelligent Automation Team is responsible for automating processes across finance\, human resources\, student services\, the university library\, and other administrative departments. Currently\, the team utilizes both in-house robots and those from external service providers. They are developing AI-driven chatbots to enhance support services and actively train university personnel in using low-code automation tools. \n11:10 Keynote: Linda Mannila\, Associate professor in societal aspects of AI at the Department of Computer Science\, University of Helsinki \nAI literacy as a citizen competence – why does everyone need to know the basics in AI?Linda Mannila’s research focuses on how we can better understand\, teach\, and shape the role of technology in society. Linda is actively involved in projects that explore AI literacy and the societal and cultural implications of AI\, and leads NordicEdAI\, a cross-Nordic network addressing questions related to AI in education and society.
