AI as Research Copilot: Literature, Analysis, and Communication
Start Date:
Jan. 22, 2026
Region:
Africa, Americas, Asia & Oceania, Europe
Description:
This hands-on workshop introduces participants to practical applications of AI in scientific workflows. Participants will explore how large language models can accelerate literature reviews, refine research proposals, and adapt technical material for different audiences. We will explore practical applications for data analysis, and visualization using a sample dataset.
The session also covers project organization, and preparation for job interviews. Critically, we'll address when AI use is appropriate, recognize its limitations—particularly hallucinations in literature reviews and technical writing—and develop effective prompting strategies to obtain reliable results. Through interactive exercises, participants will gain practical experience applying these tools while understanding their boundaries.
This workshop will be presented by Tsvet Ross-Lazarov (COMET) on 22 Jan 2026 at 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET.
