Part of the 'Blueprint' trajectory on AI for professionals in higher education

AI for science communication

Discover the power of AI language technology in this interactive workshop for scientists, researchers, and communicators who want to get started with AI. Whether you’re using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini or something else, you’ll collaborate with generative AI to generate natural language responses, brainstorm ideas, and craft compelling scientific narratives for a broad audience. Learn to evaluate AI-generated content and navigate key ethical considerations. By the end, you’ll gain practical skills and a deeper understanding of how AI can transform science communication.

Practical information:

2.5 hours
Your choice (in-company)
Mixed Dutch & English
Target audience: researchers, staff in communication, valorization, and service to society

Led by Dr. Ben Verhoeven, an expert in science communication and language technology, this hands-on workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore AI’s role in the future of sharing science.

Teacher / speaker

Ben Verhoeven

Ben Verhoeven is a science communicator and doctor in Computational Linguistics. During his research career, he found inspiration and techniques in improvisation theater to move away from the typical research lecture. With ERLNMYR he now passes on that knowledge and passion to researchers through presentation workshops and coachings. They also perform theatre shows that give science the stage it deserves.

Learning Trajectory on Generative AI for Professionals in Higher Education

This is a suggestion for a learning trajectory on generative AI, targeted at professionals working in higher education (e.g., researchers, lecturers, administrative and technical staff, policymakers). The learning modules were carefully selected by VAIA to create a holistic and realistic starting point for educating this target group on GenAI. This trajectory gets updated regularly!
