Content
New technologies cause uncertainty – this is especially true for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Meanwhile, researchers find a huge array of AI-based tools at their disposal with new opportunities emerging almost daily. Our rulebooks on good research practice can hardly keep up with this development. Accordingly, many questions arise: Can I use AI tools for my dissertation? Should I make it transparent, which AI tools I use and, if so, how? How shall I document the use of AI? When publishing, can AI assist me or even be an author?
After a short introduction to generative AI we will address these questions from the perspective of good research practice. We will introduce what different research integrity guidelines have to say regarding the proper use of AI and what this implies for your thesis work. Case examples will help us making the discussion more concrete and there will be plenty of time for your questions.
- Get an overview of the guidelines for proper use of AI
- Learn what AI use means for your dissertation
- Discuss best research practices
- Reflect on the role of AI in publishing

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.
