Interaction between participants is a key part of the Lorentz Center's methodology, and is the core of high-quality, impactful workshops. Your proposal will be read by your colleagues who voluntarily spend their time evaluating the proposals and giving valuable feedback: we therefore expect the same human commitment from the authors of a workshop application.
Furthermore, the workshops we host are sparked by your curiosity and drive to change the world: writing is a tool for thinking through what would be a useful workshop for you and communicates that enthusiasm to us. We are interested in what motivates you and therefore prefer to read your own words. If you were to use AI to assist you in your writing process, please add a brief reflection to your proposal on how and why you did so, and on where it was useful for you in developing your proposal.
If you use a Large Language Model or other Generative AI tool(s) for writing your proposal, do so responsibly, following The Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. This code of conduct is based on five core values: honesty, diligence, transparency, independence and responsibility.
Large Language Models such as ChatGPT and Bard can undermine these values as argued in the links below.
