Project summary:

The cooperation will explore the potentials of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of Higher Education with the aim of decreasing academic dropout and increasing academic attainment across European countries. Using machine learning algorithms, the system is able to define profiles of students at risk at the beginning of the academic year and, with a co-design approach, will then develop new preventive interventions specifically targeting the students at risk of dropout.
