Objectives

Discover the power of AI language technology in this interactive workshop for scientists, researchers, and communicators that want to start using AI for their science communication. Whether you’re using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini or something else, you’ll collaborate with generative AI to generate natural language responses, brainstorm ideas, and craft compelling scientific narratives. Learn to evaluate AI-generated content and navigate key ethical considerations. By the end, you’ll gain practical skills and a deeper understanding of how AI can transform science communication.

We start with the basics, both in theory and practice, so no previous knowledge is required.
