Jan 10, 2025, Workshop: AI @CIDEFES - Research applications

On January 10th, the inaugural session of the "AI @CIDEFES" series unfolded, in a effort to integrate artificial intelligence into academic research practices. This action-oriented workshop, aptly titled "AI @CIDEFES: Research," was spearheaded by António Palmeira.

Held from 14:30 to 16:30, the workshop convened a diverse group of researchers eager to explore the transformative potential of AI in their work. António Palmeira guided participants through a dynamic session focused on leveraging AI tools to enhance research capabilities. The emphasis was placed on three core areas: discovering new information, supporting literature review processes, and aiding in writing tasks.

1. **Discovering New Insights with AI**:
Participants delved into advanced methods of using AI to uncover novel insights and trends across various fields.

2. **Supporting Literature Reviews**:
The workshop highlighted how AI can streamline the often cumbersome process of conducting literature reviews.

3. **Enhancing Writing with AI Tools**:
In an era where clarity and precision are paramount, António demonstrated how AI can assist in refining writing processes.

For those interested in furthering their understanding of AI's impact on research or participating in upcoming sessions within this series, stay tuned for announcements regarding future workshops under the "AI @CIDEFES" banner. This initiative promises continued exploration into how artificial intelligence can revolutionize not just research but all facets of educational engagement.
