“Across the region, including our partnerships with all of Australia’s Group of Eight (Go8) universities, we see firsthand how forward-thinking institutions are leveraging AI-powered solutions to innovate, expand access, and deepen student engagement for better learning outcomes,” said Murad Velani, Echo360’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re excited to collaborate with this year’s grant recipients as they scale initiatives that make transformative learning a reality for more students and educators.”
The 2026 APAC cohort represents a diverse group of institutions advancing evidence-based teaching and AI-powered learning innovation, including: Australian Catholic University, Manukau Institute of Technology and Unitec, The University of Queensland, University of New England, Australian Film Television and Radio School, Curtin University, National Institute of Dramatic Art, Open Polytechnic of New Zealand, Swinburne University of Technology, The University of Western Australia, UNSW Sydney, and RMIT University.

They will also empower our educators to meet the challenges of our rapidly evolving education environment.”
