 OVERVIEW & PRESENTATION

Scientific research is the most significant engine of knowledge

development. It stands as a powerful drive that shapes societies and
civilizations. Research relies on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data
using scientific approaches aiming at testing hypotheses and confirming
their reliability and relevance. Hence; mastering these processes is a
daunting challenge to address, regarding both the scientific issues and the
required specific techniques and tools.

Dramatic advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer opportunities to

improve researchers’ performance. AI models can trigger a profound
revolution in scientific research processes, whose fundamental foundations
have remained unchanged for centuries. Researchers seeking to use AI
systems to overcome their cognitive ability limitations, should acquire new
skills such as database preparation and algorithms among many others. It
is, therefore, possible that a divide may emerge between researchers who
are more familiar with AI and those who are not, with the former having
privileges in terms of access to databases and analytical methods.

AI is a relevant topic of investigation for researchers. However, for AI to

have a positive impact on research, it is crucial to render data and research
results accessible for all; a fundamental concern of open science (OS) that
promotes openness, transparency, and collaboration in research.
Furthermore, it encourages a wide-spread of data sharing , ideas, and
results, thereby enhancing scientific rigor, faster and more impactful
discoveries (Goldstein, S., et al., 2016). Science openness is paramount in
the field of AI, where algorithms are complex and black-boxed. By sharing
their data and results, researchers should ensure AI systems are developed
and used responsibly and ethically.
By allowing more access to data and resources, open science drives
innovation and opens new avenues to solve almost every problem. Through
OS principles, researchers can not only increase transparency and
replicability of their works, but also stimulate innovation by allowing other
researchers to harness and enrich their discoveries. Open science favors
dynamic and inclusive research environments, where ideas flow freely, and
creativity encouraged (Goldstein, S., et al., 2016; Lawson, C., et al., 2017;
Borgman, C. L., 2015).

Integrating artificial intelligence and open science offers exciting

perspectives to scientific research. By combining AI analytical capabilities
with open science transparency and collaboration principles, researchers
can explore new avenues, and address challenges facing organizations
around the world. From the development of more robust theories to
innovation in research methodology, OS and AI will together be able to
provide insightful answers to complex questions shaping the contemporary
research landscape (Chellappan and Krishnan, 2018).

For AI and OS to unleash their full potential, several challenges need to be

addressed. It is mandatory to use AI ethically and responsibly, ensuring
that algorithms are fair, transparent, and privacy friendly. Similarly,
promoting open science requires cultural and institutional changes that
recognize and reward collaboration and sharing within research
community. Furthermore, we need to ensure that open science and AI do
not reinforce existing inequalities, but rather allow equitable access to
knowledge.

This conference offers a solid ground to explore unprecedented

opportunities and challenges to scientific research in the light of open
science and artificial intelligence. Together, we can expand knowledge
boundaries, enhance research practices, and contribute meaningfully to
take research to the next level.
 CONFERENCE THEMES

 DOCTORAL WORKSHOP: REINVENTING PHD

IMAGE GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

“We approach the thesis as an adventure, we experience it as a journey, we leave it as

a dream... Beyond generalities... Each experience is unique. Yet; the difficulties and
the joys of the trajectory are similar and those who have experienced them can make
their experience a guide for others."

The first objective of this initiative is to support PHD students in the success
of their thesis project while enjoying the process. Doctoral Workshop, which is
fully integrated into this conference, offers a space for exchange and meeting
for PHD students from various backgrounds, wishing to share their thesis paths
through various means of expression such as comics, poetry or visual art.
Future participants are encouraged to present their experiences in creative
ways, sparking rich and varied discussions. Researchers and experts will be
invited to evaluate these presentations, offering partnership opportunities and
solutions to raised challenges. This workshop aims at supporting PhD students
in their thesis journey while promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and
innovation.

Given that the doctoral workshop has a limited number of places, applications
will be evaluated by the organizing committee of the event according to the
quality and originality of the submitted applications. Candidates interested in
participating and sharing their experiences or suggestions are invited to
consult (Call for Workshop) available on the platform.
 PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES
