Overview
AI for Researchers is a practical course for using Artificial Intelligence across the research lifecycle while protecting accuracy, integrity and confidentiality. Participants learn to refine research questions, develop search strategies, organise literature, extract information, support data analysis and improve academic communication. The course emphasises source verification, reproducibility, transparent disclosure, authorship, intellectual property and the prevention of fabricated citations. AI is presented as a research assistant, not a replacement for methodological expertise or scholarly judgement.
