"Let AI do your research?!"

The Scientists' Day will take place on 4 June 2024. The focus is on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and its use, its effects as well as its opportunities and potential problems for (your own) research.

Are you curious about the innovative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in research?
How can AI be used to improve research? What are the limits of scientific integrity?

At the Scientists' Day, we will explore the opportunities and risks of integrating AI into your research work.
Every transformation brings challenges. Learn more about ethical considerations, privacy concerns and potential biases related to the use of AI in research.
