The network intends to connect students actively shaping the future of learning and work through AI. Whether a club focuses on event management, project development, or community leadership, OpenAI is inviting collaboration.

Clubs are asked to provide details about their university, focus areas, current AI tool usage, and future aspirations. OpenAI is also inquiring about community size, activity levels, and specific support needs, including interest in ambassador programs and research collaborations.
