Dr. Pratik Rajan Mungekar Honoured as Senior Fellow of Royal Institution Singapore; Delivers Plenary Address on “What Happens After the Prompt?”

Manila, Philippines | September 2026 — Dr. Pratik Rajan Mungekar, FRSA, has been honoured with the prestigious Senior Fellowship of the Royal Institution Singapore (SFRIEdr) in the field of Education, recognising his contributions to education, research, academic leadership, innovation and international educational engagement.

The fellowship was conferred during the Royal Institution’s 20th Global Congress & Conferment Ceremony, held from 18–20 September 2026 at The Manila Hotel, Manila, Philippines, under the theme:

“Charting an AI-Enabled Future: Digital Transformation for Future-Proofing Education, Business and Industry, and Public Administration.”

Plenary Address: “What Happens After the Prompt?”

Adding another significant dimension to the conference, Dr. Pratik Mungekar delivered a plenary address titled “What Happens After the Prompt?”, focusing on a critical question emerging in the age of Generative AI: what happens after an AI system generates an answer?

The address explored the need to move beyond simply knowing how to write effective prompts and towards questioning, validating, interpreting, improving and responsibly applying AI-generated outputs.

Dr. Mungekar highlighted the importance of human judgement, critical thinking, creativity and academic responsibility in an AI-enabled educational environment. His message positioned AI not simply as a tool for generating content, but as a catalyst for rethinking how educators teach, how learners learn, and how institutions prepare for the future.

The plenary resonated with the central theme of the congress, connecting AI, education, digital transformation and future-ready leadership.

He added that he received the honour with gratitude and humility, viewing it as renewed responsibility to continue contributing to education and supporting educators and learners across borders.

Dr. Mungekar’s recognition comes amid his continued international engagement in education, AI, research, innovation, academic leadership and educator development, including academic programmes, international conferences, research initiatives and AI-focused educational interventions.

The conferment at the Royal Institution Singapore further marks his growing engagement with international academic and professional platforms and his efforts to connect educational innovation across countries.

The honour and the plenary address together reflect a continuing focus on a central question for modern education:

If AI can generate the answer, what should humans learn to do next?
