Dear All,

Please find attached the presentation for Lesson #10.

We talked post-award, Science for Policy and mechanisms for expert advice, the importance of innovation in public admin and, very important, how we should all train the disclosure of AI use in research and innovation.

Regarding the evaluation protocol, please mind that in case you’re opting for continuous evaluation, you are supposed to produce a final essay, in the format of a policy brief.

The deadline for the final version of the policy brief is the exam date, but there is an interim draft version to be handed in by the 27th April (23h59).

In our last class, on the 30th, you should present your brief to class, in a max of 3 minutes and the use of a max of 3 slides. We will debate it and ask questions, so that you can use this feedback to perfect the final version.

The topic can be of your choice, as long as in the scope of our course.

Have a nice Easter break.

Ana

Dear All,

 

Many thanks to those who attended yesterdays class, and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience of the rescheduling ☹.

Please find attached the presentation.

I suppose we did not advance as much as planned, and I will try to catch up next week, hopefully with a full room. There is a topic I would really like for us to debate, which is the use of AI and the disclosure options most often suggested by publishers and funders.

Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend between the showers and timid sunshine.

Best,

Ana
