SciLib Forum 2025 – AI Meets Scientific Writing is a focused training and discussion event in English for academic researchers—particularly PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scholars—interested in integrating generative AI into their scientific writing processes. The forum offers two expert-led workshops and a panel discussion that address both the practical applications and ethical implications of AI-assisted academic authorship.

A data visualization competition is also taking place alongside this event.
