This introductory level provides participants with a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its growing impact on universities and higher education. It introduces key AI concepts, current applications of AI in teaching, learning, research, assessment, and university administration, and the changing skills that graduates will need in an AI-driven economy.The course also examines the opportunities and challenges of AI in Nigerian higher education, including academic integrity, bias, misinformation, privacy, over-reliance on AI, and the changing role of lecturers and students. Participants will begin to consider how universities can move beyond simply adopting AI tools towards rethinking what they teach, how they teach it, and the competencies graduates need to remain relevant in the future of work.

Neuroanatomy is the branch of anatomy that studies the structure and organization of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It examines how different neural structures are connected and how their organization supports sensory, motor, cognitive, and autonomic functions.Neuroscience is the broader scientific field that investigates the nervous system's structure, function, development, physiology, and disorders. It integrates disciplines such as biology, medicine, psychology, chemistry, and computer science to understand how the nervous system controls behavior, cognition, and bodily functions, and to develop treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions.

The Diaspora BRIDGE Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education aims to strengthen Nigerian academia through structured engagement with global experts, particularly members of the Nigerian diaspora. This proposed DERIACD is designed to translate this vision into practical academic transformation across Nigerian/African universities and research institutes.The programme will provide targeted capacity development in research excellence, innovation systems, modern teaching methodologies, and industry collaboration frameworks. It will also establish sustainable pathways for knowledge transfer, joint research, funding access, and global academic networking.By leveraging diaspora expertise, the initiative seeks to close critical gaps in learning and research, enhance institutional competitiveness, and position Nigerian universities for improved global ranking and impact.NB: This will be specifically for UKRI, Horizon Europe, NIHR, Royal Society, Wellcome Trust, or African research funding audiences!!The idea is to translate innovative research ideas into fundable projects with societal, industrial, and policy impact.
