🤖DPM writing day about using AI as a tool to support academic writing ✍ As PhD and Postdoc researchers an important part of our job is to convert the data we collect into accessible, meaningful information for industry partners, policymakers, and the scientific community.

On the 13th of March, we hosted an engaging 'writing day' for approximately 40 PhD and postdoc researchers of the DPM department, where we explored the possibilities that AI can offer to support researchers in writing.

A huge thank you to our guest speakers for the invaluable insights:
