The Educating Future Citizens (EFC) network is now accepting applications for the event “The impact of AI on research: a reflection on education, research evaluation and publishing”, aimed at PhD students and researchers.

The event will take place only in person on Tuesday, 29 September, from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, at the former SISSA building in Miramare, via Beirut 2-4 (Trieste, Italy). 

The purpose of the event is to collectively reflect and discuss on how AI is reshaping the way we conduct, teach, evaluate and publish research.
