Afternoon: 13.30-16.00

Workshop: AI in grant writing and research administration with Mads Lykke Berggreen.

  • How generative AI actually works — and why that explains both what the tools are good at and when they fail

  • Grant writing: from call to draft — making sense of a call, building structure, drafting text without losing your own voice, and using AI as a critical reader of what you have written

  • Choice, safety and responsible use: which tasks can go where, why the choice of tool matters more than the choice of prompt, and how to assess a new tool before you use it

  • Bias and error sources: where they arise in the models, how they show up in proposals and reports, and how to spot them
