AI courses

Think, Prompt, Reflect

AI can act as a powerful second brain, but there's still only one mind throughout every process: yours.

The approach

Three steps guide every move

Whatever the topic or the tool, the most important cognitive work remains human.

1

Think

Start from your own question, goal and disciplinary judgment before reaching for any tool.

2

Prompt

Put AI to work as a second brain, with skill and intent, from a single prompt to autonomous agents.

3

Reflect

Reflect on the output, question its value, and decide what comes next.

The courses

Two areas: research and education

Research and teaching may seem like different professions, but at their core they share a similar purpose: turning information into understanding. When used well, artificial intelligence can help us do that even more effectively.

For researchers

Research

PhD students, postdocs, research groups & doctoral coordinators

We follow the whole research process end to end and bring AI in thoughtfully at each step, including emerging agentic systems, with reflection and responsible use throughout.

Topics we cover
Ideation & planningLiterature reviewAcademic writingFeedback & revisionPresenting & disseminationAcademic integrity
Courses

Generative AI across the whole research workflow, from the first idea to the final presentation and publication.

Beyond the chat window: AI agents, tool connectivity and deep-research workflows that carry out multi-step work while you stay in control.

Overcoming the blank-page and full-page problems. Draft, shape and refine academic texts with AI while keeping your voice, rigour and authorship.

For educators

Education

Teachers and lecturers, from primary school to higher education

We explore what AI makes possible in teaching and learning, and where the enduring value of the teacher, and of education itself, lies.

Topics we cover
AI literacyLesson planning & materialsDifferentiationFeedback and assessmentDeskilling vs. upskillingAcademic honesty
Courses

Practical uses of generative AI at every stage of the teaching cycle: planning, differentiation, feedback and assessment, without losing sight of the teacher's judgment.

AI agents that help plan lessons, personalise feedback and handle admin work, freeing up time for what only a teacher can do.

What institutions say

Trusted by Swiss universities

“I was initially unfamiliar with AI and frankly quite skeptical. That changed after the workshop. Today it's a regular part of my workflow. I verify every change, but I've come to genuinely appreciate having this support.”
Prof. Dr. Hubertus van HedelHead of Research · University Children's Hospital Zurich
“Well tailored to the realities of doctoral education. It gave me concrete ideas for discussing the use of AI with the PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers who attend my course on research integrity. I would recommend it to any institution looking to support its researchers.”
Dr. Roberto AndornoBiomedical Ethics · University of Zurich
“Judit's course on generative AI for academic research has consistently been highly appreciated by our PhD candidates, postdocs and programme coordinators. She skilfully adapts each session to its audience, and we warmly recommend her.”
Eric Alms, MAGraduate Campus · University of Zurich

Proposed Guidelines for the Responsible Use of AI in Research

A ten-point framework for using AI in academic research responsibly: disclosure, human oversight, reproducibility, data protection and more. From the GenAI for Academic Research course at UZH, February 2026.
