| Artificial Intelligence Tools: Responsible Use and Applications in Research and Academia / 26-11-AI-2 | 11.11.2026 09:00 - 16:00 (Wed) | online | Dr. Sanchini, Andrea |
The rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence tools has the potential to change the way researchers work in academia. This workshop offers a hands-on learning experience that introduces a wide range of AI tools, explores their practical applications, and addresses the ethical considerations associated with their use. Its aim is to support the responsible, efficient, and informed integration of AI into academic research.
Gain an understanding of the role of AI in research and academia, including its potential benefits and risks.
Learn how to craft effective prompts tailored to your research tasks and develop strategies for integrating AI tools into your workflows.
Stay informed about and adapt to ongoing developments in the field of AI.
Learn how AI can help in preparing for academic defenses or interviews and in developing teaching and training materials.
The workshop covers an introduction to artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on generative AI. It highlights both the benefits and limitations of implementing AI tools in research and academia and provides an outlook on future developments and emerging possibilities.
- Designing effective prompts for generative AI systems
- Ethical considerations such as data privacy, bias, and responsible use
- Learn about relevant guidelines from major journals and institutions regarding the use of AI in research
- Practical use of AI tools to support literature reviews
- Assist with data analysis and interpretation
- Improve manuscripts, grant proposals, and conference presentations
- Generate research ideas and hypotheses

Many doctoral programs award credit points for participation in workshops and other qualification programs. One work unit (WU) corresponds to 45 minutes of workshop time. In some cases they might round up.
- 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
- For shorter workshops, credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
- Credit transfer requires the accumulation of a sufficient number of work units.
Example: Participation in two workshops of three hours each result in a total of 8 work units and therefore 0,5 credit points would be granted. As the transfer of credits is decided by the doctoral programs or doctoral offices, please contact them directly with any questions in this regard.
Regardless of on-site or online workshops, we would like to refer to the rules at Freie Universität Berlin, which can be found in the Code of Conduct.
Please also consider our Event and Workshop Etiquettefor workshops and events offered on-site, online, blended or hybrid.
