Registration: RAIL Model Validation Sessions

Are you integrating AI into your research? As AI transforms science, the need for a Responsible AI Literacy (RAIL) Competency Model for Researchers becomes critical. The first preprint presents the broader framework, rationale, and overarching competency statements (https://doi.org/10.17619/UNIPB/1-2504). For detailed definitions of the individual competency elements (Knowledge, Skills, and Responsible Integrity Dispositions) needed to interpret these statements, please refer to the companion document: (https://doi.org/10.17619/UNIPB/1-2591). You are invited to join an international expert panel to refine this framework and ensure research integrity in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Why participate?

  • Expert Networking: Connect with international peers in the field of AI-supported research.

  • Recognition: Receive an official Certificate of Participation from Paderborn University.

  • Scientific Impact: Directly influence a doctoral study and a responsible AI literacy (RAIL) competency model for researchers aimed at safeguarding scientific standards.

 

To ensure the model is validated through a diverse range of professional research lenses, we are specifically seeking participants who identify with the following profile:

  • Degree: Master’s degree or higher.

  • Research Experience: Has been active in professional research for at least 3 years.

  • Role: Doctoral Candidate, Researcher, Lecturer, Professor, Director, or equivalent.

 

The Registration Process: This questionnaire takes less than 6 minutes to complete. After completing the survey, you will be invited to a Nominal Group Technique (NGT) session.

Session Quick Facts:

  • Format: Virtual (Zoom)

  • Duration: 90–120 minutes

  • Method: Structured group discussion and ranking (NGT) to reach group consensus.

  • Timeframe: Select your preferred validation track

Declaration of Consent for Processing My Personal Data within the Scope of the Doctoral Study “The AI-literate Researcher – A Model of AI Literacy for Researchers” by Stephan Drechsler

I have received and taken note of the data protection information on the processing of my personal data within the scope of the doctoral project “The AI-literate Researcher - A Model of AI Literacy for Researchers” by Mr. Stephan Drechsler following Art. 13 GDPR.

Hereby, I consent to the processing of my personal data by Mr. Stephan Drechsler as described in the data protection information as part of the doctoral project “The AI-
literate Researcher – A Model of AI Literacy for Researchers” for participation in the expert recruitment questionnaire, in the NGT session, for issuing a certificate of participation, and receiving information about the study’s results following Art. 6 Para. 1 Subparagraph 1 Letter a) GDPR.

Consent to the above Processing phases is voluntary. I can revoke my declaration of consent in whole or in part at any time without giving reasons. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before the revocation (Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR).
