Generative AI has proven remarkably effective at accelerating ideation, drafting and exploration in research and enterprise contexts. But where does its accuracy falter or its fit for purpose reach its boundaries? And what technologies can meaningfully extend it?

Bridging the gap with structured knowledge

This panel brings together thought leaders to explore how generative AI, while powerful in pattern recognition and linguistic fluency, often falls short in areas demanding precision, traceability, and contextual consistency. We will discuss how complementary technologies, particularly knowledge graphs and symbolic reasoning systems, can help bridge these gaps.

The future of hybrid AI

Join Digital Science for a forward-looking conversation on hybrid approaches that combine the creativity of large language models with the rigor of structured knowledge to enable more scalable, transparent and trustworthy business decision-making.

Panelists: Peter Haase, Hélène Draux, Mark Hahnel

As part of our sponsorship, we will also be hosting a webinar, An Introduction to Digital Science databases, Altmetric and Dimensions, prior to the summer school starting in September. The webinar is open to interested students as well as anyone else who would like to attend. For full details and a link to join, please see below:

An Introduction to Digital Science databases, Altmetric and Dimensions

Date & time: Wednesday 27 August 2025 at 2pm BST / 3pm CEST
Join us for our webinar where Kathryn Weber-Boer, Director Scientometrics – Scientometric Researcher Engagement at Digital Science, will introduce the Altmetric dataset, including how the data points are linked, how research outputs and mentions are identified, and how these data are visualized using the Altmetric Explorer. Special attention will be given to the possibilities for scientometric research offered by this dataset, including both how it has been used in existing research and what gaps remain less explored.

Juergen Wastl, VP Research Evaluation, will also demonstrate Dimensions and highlight the objects, search, browse and in-built analytical functions in the context of scientometric interests. Next to an overview of the capabilities and extensions of Dimensions (API, GBQ), the most recent additions and functionality will be highlighted in a live demo (AI functionalities).

To fully unlock these benefits, universities must adopt a joined-up approach across the different teams responsible for delivering these changes. This webinar, held in partnership between Times Higher Education and Digital Science, will feature a panel of experts who will discuss best practice for how to evolve, strengthen and optimise the role of libraries in research management infrastructure. 

Topics for discussion will include:

• The strategic importance of embedding digital transformation in research
• How the shift towards open research, open data and open resources requires new library services and systems
• Encouraging innovation in university libraries to enable this process
• How libraries can support digital transformation strategies with next generation institutional repositories
• What further collaboration is needed between library directors and digital strategy teams to deliver continuous improvements

Collaboration between academia and industry is essential for driving innovation, economic growth and sustainable solutions to global issues. As industry needs evolve, institutions must ensure that resources across their research ecosystem – from faculty expertise to specialised equipment – are easily discoverable and accessible to potential funders, partners and collabo-rators. However, identifying partners with the same goals, visions and priorities can be a com-plex process.

Advanced research information management systems and centralised profiling tools can help institutions position themselves as valuable partners in innovation by maximising the visibility and utility of research assets and outputs. This webinar, held in partnership between Times Higher Education and Digital Science, will feature a panel of experts who will discuss how these tools help institutions improve the management, accessibility and dissemination of research data to foster mutually beneficial collaborations. It will also include the key findings from Catalyzing Collaboration: How Research Information Management Systems Drive Academic-Industry Partnerships.

Topics for discussion will include:

• The benefits of academic-industry partnerships in research and the challenges in identifying the right partners

• Fostering strategic partnerships and resource-sharing to train researchers to meet evolving industry standards

• Strategies for maximising the visibility and utility of research assets and outputs

• How research management tools help streamline management, accessibility and dissemination of research data to facilitate technology transfer

• Measuring the impact of academic-industry collaborations in research

Panellists

• Jeff Agnoli, Senior Liaision, Corporate Partnerships, Ohio Innovation Exchange
• Derek Newton, Assistant Vice-President, Innovation, Partnerships and Entrepreneurship, University of Toronto
• Christopher J Rowe, Executive Director for Industry Collaborations, Office of the Vice Provost for Research, University of Vanderbilt
