AIEduLead Takes Off: TET Joins Six-Country Erasmus+ Partnership on Ethical AI in Higher Education

Amman, 13 November 2026 — TET Solutions took part yesterday in the virtual pre-kick-off meeting of AIEduLead, marking the start of a three-year Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project that will help universities across the Euro-Mediterranean region integrate artificial intelligence into teaching, research and institutional governance.

The online meeting, chaired by project coordinator Dr. Olfa Harrabi Khlif of the University of Kairouan, brought together more than twenty representatives of the consortium’s institutions to review the project’s objectives, governance structure and implementation plan ahead of the official start date of 1 January 2027.

A Euro-Mediterranean partnership

AIEduLead unites twelve partner organisations and one associated ministry across six countries: six Southern Mediterranean universities, three European universities and three specialised organisations. Tunisia, Jordan and Morocco are the primary beneficiaries, with Belgium, Spain and Greece contributing expertise in pedagogy, AI ethics and quality assurance.

Jordan is represented by three institutions: Princess Sumaya University for Technology, which leads the train-the-trainer work package, Applied Science Private University, contributing to needs analysis and piloting, and TET Solutions, responsible for the project’s digital platform and micro-credentials.

The project runs from January 2027 to December 2029 under Erasmus+ CBHE Strand 2, with a total budget of €975,390.60, of which €780,312.48 is funded by the European Union.

The problem AIEduLead addresses

Artificial intelligence is already entering higher education across the Southern Mediterranean, but its integration remains fragmented and insufficiently governed. Institutions differ widely in digital maturity, most academic staff have had little formal training in evaluating or deploying AI tools responsibly, and clear institutional policies on academic integrity and algorithmic bias are largely absent.

AIEduLead responds with five specific objectives: building foundational and advanced AI literacy among academic and administrative staff; co-creating a certified, regionally contextualised Euro-Mediterranean AI train-the-trainer programme; strengthening institutional policies for responsible AI governance; piloting and validating AI-enhanced teaching methods; and establishing a sustainable Euro-Mediterranean AI Hub.

What the project will deliver

Five concrete outputs anchor the work: a Euro-Mediterranean AI Competence Framework, a certified train-the-trainer programme with micro-credentials, AI governance and ethics guidelines, institutional AI action plans with accompanying pilots, and a Euro-Med AI in Education Network and Hub.

The targets are measurable: at least 120 staff trained, 30 certified trainers, 12 AI teaching pilots, and 5,000 indirect beneficiaries. As the coordinator put it in her presentation, this is a project that invests in people rather than equipment — and the outputs are designed as open educational resources, reusable well beyond the partnership itself.

TET’s contribution

TET Solutions serves as the consortium’s technical partner, responsible for the digital infrastructure that carries the project’s results. This covers the development and maintenance of the project platform and the Euro-Mediterranean AI Education Hub, together with the digitalisation of micro-credentials — the mechanism through which trained academic staff will receive formal, portable recognition of their competences.

It is a role that sits at the point where the project’s ideas become usable: a competence framework matters only if institutions can actually deliver it, and a certification matters only if it travels with the person who earned it.

Eng. Ahmad Al Banna, President of TET Solutions, leads the company’s participation and acts as liaison with the coordinator and Jordanian stakeholders.

Next steps

The consortium will meet in person for the official kick-off in Tunisia, hosted by the University of Kairouan, with dates to be confirmed. The project’s first six months will be devoted to a baseline study of institutional AI readiness across the partner universities, establishing the evidence base on which the competence framework will be built.
