About the Prompt Library
This Prompt Library is a free, open collection of prompts for higher education, built in the spirit of open science and designed to make good prompting easier to learn and reuse.
It contains prompts that work in real workflows, made available by your peers, so you don’t have to experiment in isolation. And because GenAI outputs depend on the instructions you give, sharing strong prompts helps everyone get better outcomes.
The problem
In higher education, people try using GenAI for teaching, learning, research, and operations. But useful prompts are often created in isolation, stored in personal notes, and hardly ever reused. All while people who are less experienced fall behind, making AI literacy harder to build collectively.
What this library does
The library centralizes prompts that work in real higher-education contexts, so others can start from proven examples, adapt them to their own setting, and iterate faster. The goal is simple: make shared practice visible, reusable, and improvable.
How it stays useful
Built for what you're trying to achieve, not who you are
The library serves everyone in Higher Education, whether you're a student, lecturer, researcher, or in professional services. But prompts are grouped by what you’re trying to do, because roles overlap.
A student writing a thesis may need “research” prompts; a researcher going through reading material may need “learning” prompts, etc.
Your goal is in the lead.
Who made it?
The Prompt Library for Higher Education is an initiative developed at Erasmus University Rotterdam, by Jonathan Flores (learning innovator at AI@EUR and Community for Learning & Innovation).
