Description
The workshop content is split into two parts, with the first covering the use of ChatGPT and prompt engineering to craft and refine funding proposals, and the second exploring other AI tools designed to assist in the research and writing process for grant applications. We will examine both the many benefits and challenges of using AI in this context.
In addition to the opportunities, we will also address the ethical considerations and risks associated with the use of AI, including questions of copyright, data integrity, and the authenticity of research proposals.
The seminar aims to equip you with practical knowledge and skills to use AI as a powerful tool in writing effective funding applications. Through interactive elements, such as case studies and group discussions, you will have the opportunity to engage directly with the content and discuss individual questions.
