Deliberative Assembly

On four Thursday afternoons between mid-January and mid-February 2026, FAIR-ASSESS will organise a deliberative assembly with students and teachers from all seven Leiden faculties. This will be the first deliberative assembly held at a university to discuss how fairness of assessments can be increased in the age of GenAI. The results of this deliberation will inform assessment policies at Leiden University and potentially beyond.

Roundtable AI & assessment

On May 9th 2025, FAIR-ASSESS brought together 10 experts to discuss the future of assessment in higher education. What can universities and universities of applied sciences learn from each other when it comes to dealing with and regulating AI? Can AI use by students promote equality of opportunity, or does it actually increase unwanted disparities? What about experiments in which teachers use AI for giving feedback and grading?

Participants to the roundtable pointed out that, while GenAI technologies should sometimes make us worry, they can also present us with “an opportunity to rethink what we are really educating students for: what do we want out students really to be able to do, and how do we want them to be able to think? (…) What is it, in the end, that we are assessing?”
