Call for participation in a Student-driven Project: "The future is yours. Will you dare to lead the change?"

AI is about to transform everything—how we work, live, and even think. Most students have not yet grasped the scale of this shift or how it will shape their futures.

The Human Pioneer Project: Creating meaningful impact in the AI era is a 2025 student-driven project in Digital Transformation Lab from FORTHEM Alliance.

It is an experiment: Over five sessions, 20 STEM master’s students will meet in person to debate the big questions:

•  How is AI changing the world today in ways most people don’t notice?
•  What’s coming next in 2025+ ?
•  If AI is going to change the world no matter what, what kind of world would we want to build by 2065? Writing the novel of the future together.
•  What problems should we be solving today before it becomes too late?
•  What holds most people back from turning their best ideas into reality?
•  How can you start building the future from exactly where you are right now?
•  What Does It Mean to Be Human in the AI Era?
•  What am I gonna do with my limited existence as Human?

The format is simple: short presentations, small-group debates, and networking over food. No professors, no hierarchy. Just a group of ambitious students in a room, questioning, debating, and figuring things out together. Many big ideas start as conversations—where structure breaks down, assumptions are challenged, and people connect over ideas that don’t fit neatly into formal systems.

Our goal is to create a safe discussion space for bold ideas to thrive.

This student-led initiative will take place simultaneously at five FORTHEM universities (Mainz, Valencia, Agder, Jyväskylä, Sibiu), following the same format. Each university will have five student hosts, organizing in-person discussions for 20 STEM master’s students in their own university.

You can join in two ways:

📌 As a Student Host (5 hosts per university) – Design contents, Lead one session, driving Meaningful conversations

📌 As a Participant (20 participants per university) – Show up, challenge assumptions, and engage in deep discussions.
