Event details
This in-person workshop will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support innovation, research translation, and knowledge exchange across arts, culture and higher education.
Designed for professionals across higher education (HE), arts and cultural organisations, creative practice, freelance and independent roles, public engagement and knowledge exchange, the workshop will offer a practical, accessible introduction to using AI responsibly and purposefully in day-to-day work.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with AI tools and approaches that can support partnership development, stakeholder communication, fundraising, programme design, audience engagement, and research translation.
Through the session, participants will:
- demystify AI and develop a shared understanding and language around how AI systems work;
- build confidence in using AI tools and approaches within professional contexts;
- identify practical ways to strengthen innovation capacity within their own roles, organisations and networks; and
- explore the ethical dimensions of AI and what responsible use looks like across different professional and organisational contexts.
The workshop responds to growing demand for sector-specific support that helps universities, cultural organisations, and creative practitioners move from AI awareness to informed, ethical and useful application.
The day will combine interactive presentations, live demonstrations and structured group work, with opportunities to apply AI approaches to real challenges facing participants’ organisations and partnerships.
No prior AI experience is required, and materials and resources will be shared after the session to support continued learning and organisational development.
