AI-Assisted Research and Teaching – A workshop with Yariv Itzkovich, PhD

20 November 2026, UNITBV Training Hub, Rectorate building, 12:00 m. – 4:30 p.m.

Transilvania University of Brașov launches here the invitation to AI-Assisted Research and Teaching, a workshop delivered by Yariv Itzkovich, PhD, a distinguished member of the academic teaching and research personnel of Ariel University (Israel), and associate editor for Journal of Managerial Psychology.

The workshop will explore practical ways of capitalising on the artificial intelligence tools in academic research and higher education teaching, with a focus on developing AI-assisted workflows, verifying the results and the researchers’ responsibility in the valorization thereof.

The programme includes two distinct sessions:

First session | 12:00 m – 2:00 p.m. – AI-Assisted Research: From Research Question to Evidence

  • Leveraging AI to formulate research questions and identify relevant scientific literature;
  • Organizing bibliographic sources; developing the structure and introduction of a scientific article;
  • Capitalising on AI tools to fact-check claims and bibliographic references;
  • Creating reusable workflows for the research activities.

Second session | 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. – AI Applications in Research, Teaching and Academic Visibility

  • AI applications for social science research: ethics documents, questionnaires, quantitative and qualitative analysis;
  • Integrating AI assistants and interactive avatars into the didactic activities
  • Creating a personal academic website by means of AI tools

The participants can opt for either of the two sessions, or for both. The sessions are independent; therefore, attending the former is not a prerequisite for the latter.

The workshop is organised within the project CNFIS-FDI-2026-F-0421 – “Integrated research ecosystem through the strengthening of skills, infrastructure, innovation and scientific collaboration within UNITBV”, under the Research Skills Training programme.
