Event: Next Level Science with AI
Date: 21-22 November 2023
Time: 09:00-15:30 and 09:00-13:30
Venue: Hybrid - Online and physically at the KSU Common Room
Speaker: Prof. Dr Daniel Mertens
Why AI for scientists?
In two prospective studies with knowledge workers, the use of AI not only accelerated output by 25%. Much more dramatic is the result that the quality of the output increased by 40%! – (see a description here and the original preprint here).
AI-based assistants revolutionise science and enable researchers to work more efficiently and effectively. However, it is important for researchers to use these tools judiciously and with an understanding of their limitations.
This year I have already conducted 32 workshops on AI for scientists with more than 870 participants. 80.4% will make the use of AI in their daily work a very high or the highest priority.

What will we discuss?
21 November 2023 09:00 to 15:30
Module 1: What are GPTs and how do you use GPT-based tools with good prompting?
Module 2: AI Assistants for scientific writing and for scientific literature review
Module 3: AI-based brainstorming for experimental setups, for collaboration partners
22 November 2023 09:00 to 13:30
Module 4: Introspection with AI assistants, decision making and preparing for your next job interview.
Module 5: From Zero to Coding with AI Assistants.
Throughout the interaction questions / material / text / ideas from participants will be implemented live online as input into the AI tools. These case studies and live exercises will help participants to apply the concepts and tools to their own scientific research.
Because AI-tools will take your science to the next level.
Through its , the European Union supports cross-sectoral talent circulation, collaboration & career development of researchers, as well as the managers and administrators of research. University of Malta is now involved as a Partner in the ERA_SHUTTLE project (Accelerating ERA by Sharing Unique Talents for healThy Life and Environment), funded under this ERA Talents action. From the UM side the project is coordinated by the Research Support ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ Directorate (RSSD) with Dr Christian Bonnici and Dr Elena Sultana involved in the management of the project.
The ERA_SHUTLLE project activities are focusing on upskilling and increasing the capacity and output of research.
Over the next four years, the project will conduct a series of activities designed to improve the interoperability of careers and bolster the employability of talents in research and innovation across different sectors. In an effort to build core competencies and leverage knowledge and expertise from the European Research Area (ERA), ERA_SHUTTLE would like to announce its first workshop titled "Scientists Need More AI-tools for Research!". This event underscores the project's commitment to advancing the use of technology in research endeavours.
