(formerly known as “Commission for Research Partnerships with Developing Countries”)

Save the Date: 20 June 13-18 in Bern

AI is revolutionizing research by accelerating data analysis, enabling complex simulations, and uncovering patterns that were previously undetectable. It enhances productivity and fosters collaboration across disciplines and continents. However, it also raises challenges related to ethics, data bias, and the need for interpretability in AI-driven research.

Join us for an interactive conference where we explore how AI affects global research collaborations and how we can harness such technologies responsibly and inclusively to advance global research. Discussions will range from practical applications of AI tools to general ethical questions associated with this new technology. The conference includes presentations, workshops and interactive discussions to shape together the future of AI in global research.

More information will follow in due course on this website. Registration will open in April.

Call for workshop ideas

In the weeks leading up to the conference, we will host a series of online workshops addressing the topic of AI and global research collaborations. Which promises does AI hold for bridging multilingualism and different world views? How does AI support qualitative data interpretation in practice? Can we improve global teaching collaborations through AI? – submit your idea for an online workshop to further explore a specific aspect associated to AI and global research partnerships. The aim of the workshop series is to foster exchange and learn from each other’s experiences with AI in the light of global research partnerships.

The submission deadline is 23 March 2025.
