Hands on Agentic AI for Science

The Accelerate Programme for Scientific Discovery, based in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, offers support for researchers across the University to use AI in their research. We are pleased to announce that our AI training courses & workshops for this term are open for booking!

Join us for courses exploring key topics in AI as well as hands-on workshops to apply your AI skills. 

Hands on Agentic AI for Science

This half-day workshop introduces agentic AI through a mix of short presentations, live demonstrations, and hands-on notebook exercises. Participants will explore how LLM-powered agents can be designed to reason over tasks, use tools, call external APIs, work with structured prompts, and carry out multi-step workflows. The course will begin with a guided introduction to the core ideas behind agentic systems, including where they differ from standard LLM prompting, what kinds of scientific and research workflows they can support, and what practical limitations need to be considered.

Open to all postgraduate students and staff, our courses are designed to support you at all stages of implementing AI in your research. 

Registration is required to attend. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
