AI for Science communication: From prompt to impact

  • Aim: Generative AI can help you communicate your research more clearly and efficiently, but strong results require more than a quick prompt. In this interactive two-hour session, you will use AI to:
    ·         sharpen your message for a specific audience;
    ·         build a compelling storyline that can serve as the basis for a text or presentation;
    ·         turn your initial idea into a strong final product using purposeful prompts, examples, and a clear step-by-step process.
