Current research indicates that the role of generative AI in education is a double-edged sword: on one hand it can assist teachers for designing effective learning tasks and resources, on the other hand it can have negative effects on student learning and raises a range of ethical questions.
\r\nIn our new workshop series “Responsible AI skills for education” we will try to navigate these questions by focusing on specific teaching and learning activities and identifying practical skills you can develop for your everyday practice. Through a blend of concise theoretical input and hands-on activities, we will explore both the benefits and the risks of generative AI in education in short 1-hour sessions on campus. The first two workshops in the series focus on quiz design and critical analysis skills.

\r\nTeaching critical analysis:
\r\nIn this 1-hour workshop, we will focus on how to help students develop critical analysis skills for reviewing LLM outputs in the context of learning tasks. The workshop will combine theoretical inputs and hands-on activities, drawing on your disciplinary expertise and fact-checking strategies.

A summer school taking place this September will bring together EPFL and ETH Zurich PhD students to explore how uncertainty can become a productive resource in design and fabrication through a hands-on construction robotics challenge.
\r\n
\r\nThe program combines lectures in architecture, robotics, and work psychology with the full-scale construction of a timber structure from irregular timber stock, using an ABB industrial robot in a human-robot fabrication workflow.
\r\n
\r\nNo previous experience in construction robotics is required, only curiosity.

We are delighted to announce the EEG Research Day 2026 that will be held on June 8, 2026 at the Charlotte Olivier auditorium, CHUV Lausanne.
\r\nThe one-day event brings together the EEG community across the CIBM founding partner institutions CHUV, UNIL, EPFL, UNIGE and HUG. The aim is to provide new opportunities for collaborations and improve the visibility of the EEG research in the Lemanic region.
We are delighted to announce the MRI Research Day 2026, which will take place on June 10, 2026, at the Albert Renold Auditorium, CMU, University of Geneva.
\r\nThis one-day event brings together MRI experts from across the Lemanic region and provides a platform to review ongoing MRI projects, share experiences and challenges, and foster collaboration among physicists, physicians, and neuroscientists.
