Not a Library as You Know it – welcome to AI workshop: how to speed up your literature searches with artificial intelligence!

Workshop: Get started with Iris.ai Science Assistant!

Hitting a roadblock in your research or thesis writing process? Do you struggle with the overwhelming volume of published scientific research?

Join the workshop and learn how to use Iris.ai – your science assistant, that semi-automates the discovery and literature review parts of your research process.

Why you should join?

Iris.ai has already read and memorised 80 million research papers – so you don’t have to! Iris helps you to get an overall landscape around your research challenge as well as a specific reading list covering the papers that you should actually spend time on reading.

As a result of attending the workshop and using the Iris.ai tools you’ll:

1. Save 90% of your time spent on mapping out existing scientific knowledge. Once a 2-4 week mapping process can now be be done in less than 2 days

2. Broaden your search beyond limiting keywords and get a full overview of all papers related to your research problem

3. Avoid endless results lists of research papers and built-in citation biases

4. Narrow down a long collection of research papers to a specific reading list that you should focus on

Get your feet wet in Open Science on 20.10.2015

Would you like to know more about open science and data management? The University of Helsinki organizes an Open Access Workshop on Tuesday 20th October. The workshop gives an opportunity for young researchers to get to know more about data management and green open access. You’ll also have an opportunity to consult an international data service team.

The workshop is a part of an International Open Access week whose aim is to promote unrestricted access to academic publishing.

Open science belongs to everyone

The Open Science Workshop day begins with six presentations on open science. Speakers include specialists from CSC, and Lars Holm Nielsen, who is a software engineer at CERN and developer of Zenodo, an innovative research data management service. Ivo Grigorov from Denmark will speak on the effects of Horizon 2020 on Open Science.

After the presentations there will be several different workshops with topics such as how to make a data management plan, research data and open access, how to find the most suitable data repository and describing and sharing research data.

The Open Science Workshop will be held at the University of Helsinki learning environment Minerva Plaza at Siltavuorenpenger 5 A. The event starts at 10 am and is in English.

The workshop is fully booked at the moment, but you can ask about cancellations by e-mail openaccess-info@helsinki.fi
