The Department of Public International Law and International Relations at Miguel Hernández University is launching, between October and November, the first part of the Project PRODIC-UMH 2025/2026 Debate on Artificial Intelligence at the UN Assembly.

The project, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Elena Crespo Navarro, Associate Professor of Public International Law and International Relations at the UMH, is funded by the Vice-Rectorate for International Relations and Cooperation within the framework of the PRODIC-UMH 2025-2026 Internationalisation at Home Teaching Projects Programme.

The OBJECTIVE is to carry out an inter-university seminar in which a section of the Public International Law course syllabus will be analysed from a practical perspective, through an interactive and collaborative methodology using gamification tools (Kahoot and Escape room) and simulation.

Specifically, students will simulate a regular session of the UN General Assembly in which they will debate ‘Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights’, concluding with the joint drafting of a final consensus resolution.

PARTICIPATING in the project include 4th-year students from the Double Degree in Law and Business Administration (DADE), who will work alongside students from the Italian universities of Perugia and Cagliari, under the supervision of their respective professors of Public International Law and European Union Law: Prof. Dr. Simone Vezzani/Prof. Dr. Maria Cristina Carta (University of Perugia) and Prof. Dr. Francesca Ippolito (University of Cagliari).

The activity will take place over three sessions (October 20, November 3, and November 5, 2025) and will be MODERATED by professors from the UMH’s Department of Public International Law and International Relations, all members of the UMH Jean Monnet Chair ReinforcEU team: Adela Rodríguez Mañogil (Assistant Professor); Rocío M. Pozo Tomás (PhD Fellow) and Alessandra Nasoni (Honorary Collaborator).
