This seminar focuses on a strategic approach to grant-seeking as a key resource for the development of a modern research group. The main stages of the project lifecycle will be examined—from selecting calls for proposals and preparing applications to managing the budget, the team, and reporting—with an emphasis on risks, common mistakes, and practical techniques for improving the effectiveness of participation in grant programs.

This seminar is designed for researchers seeking to improve the effectiveness of their publishing efforts in leading international journals. Topics include criteria for selecting target journals, structuring a strong article, working with reviewers and editors, strategies for increasing citations and academic visibility, as well as common misconceptions and barriers that prevent authors from reaching a high journal level.

This seminar is dedicated to analyzing the possibilities and limitations of using artificial intelligence systems as a tool and potential “co-author” in scientific publications. We will examine the historical background of the automation of intellectual labor, the types of tasks in which AI can realistically be applied (from data processing to assistance in writing text), the ethical and legal aspects of authorship and responsibility, as well as practical recommendations for transparently describing AI’s contribution in the methods, acknowledgments, and disclosure sections, taking into account current journal requirements.
