AI Prompt Library: take your education to the next level!
Over the past year, there has been a lot of talk about generative AI, and we’ve had numerous opportunities to hear from experts and colleagues about what generative AI can do and how to use it.
But do you still feel like generative AI is a big black box? Are you still struggling to generate high-quality output or feeling overwhelmed by the endless possibilities and unsure where to start?
We get it, and that’s why we’ve created the Prompt Library, a collection of prompt-templates designed to give you a starting point and inspiration you need to use generative AI tools like an expert. To do so, EDLAB joined forces with Michalina Kaminska, lecturer at SBE and AI user from the early start, and the university library.
A prompt is simply an instruction you give to a generative AI tool to receive the magical output you’re looking for.
We’ll launch the Prompt Library with an event focused on prompting and practical applications. You’ll hear from regular users how they use generative AI for a touch of that life-changing magic.
You can try out yourselves and you’ll see that you don’t need to be an expert to use generative AI!

13:45-15:00: Panel discussion: How is generative AI (GenAI) is changing education and research at Maastricht University?
Our expert panellists will share their personal experiences and give practical examples of using AI in their everyday work:
- David Grigorian (SBE/DEXlab) will talk about how he introduced GenAI in his teaching, how it helps students learn, and how their attitude towards learning may have changed with AI.
- Bernd Kapeller (M&C) will discuss how support staff can benefit from GenAI in their tasks. He will also explore the need for developing specific prompts for support staff to make the most of AI in their work.
- Niklas Wenzel (FHML) will explain how GenAI assists him in his research by speeding up the process of reviewing academic literature and gathering key insights.
The discussion will explore the potential risks and challenges of using AI in education and research, lessons learned, and the role of a prompt library in helping staff and students work more effectively with GenAI. We will also reflect on the skills needed to interact with AI and how tools like a Prompt Library can support personalised learning paths for students.
