Resources

AI Researchers is developing practical resources to support responsible, confident use of AI in research and supervision. This page will host the project’s public resources as they become available, alongside a small set of background references used across Europe.

How these resources fit together

If you are new to the project, this pathway shows how the resources connect:

Understand the issues

Start with the AI Adoption Barriers Report to see what supervisors and higher education leaders identify as key barriers, concerns and enabling conditions.

Choose practical steps that fit your context

Use the AI Engagement Framework to identify realistic actions you can implement in your department, research group or researcher development setting.

Put it into practice

Use the AI Readiness Toolkit to run discussions, trial low-burden changes and support supervisors and researchers with scenarios, prompts and facilitation guides.

Build capability over time

Use the AI Mentor Training Manual to support those who train supervisors and research staff, and the Certified Online Course for structured learning with early career researchers.
