Indo-Swiss Workshop: 'Research Integrity in the Age of AI'

When:  Friday, October 10, 2025, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Where: New Delhi, India

Register

About the Workshop: Academics, policymakers, publishers, and research institutions from India and Switzerland can register to participate in a workshop that explores what research integrity means in an era of rapid AI development. Swissnex in India, along with Frontiers and the Indian National Young Academy of Sciences (INYAS), is organising the Responsibility and Trust in the Age of AI workshop that will delve into how institutions, funders and publishers can uphold ethical standards in research; how AI affects publishing ethics, language accessibility and democratisation of research; and how cross-national collaboration can improve research practices and trust in science. Research integrity underpins the trust, credibility, and advancement of science. Without confidence in the research process and its outcomes, science cannot fulfil its potential to benefit society, drive prosperity, or protect the planet. The various stakeholders of research, as stewards of knowledge, are collectively accountable for safeguarding the ethical conduct of research. Integrity involves more than just data accuracy; it reflects the trustworthiness of the entire scientific enterprise. Addressing these responsibilities cannot happen in silos and the complexity of modern research requires collaborative engagement across borders and sectors. Transparent communication, shared best practices, and commitment to high standards are essential for sustaining public trust in science. At the same time, technological progress, particularly in data and AI, introduces powerful tools, but also raises important ethical questions. AI, in particular, holds promise for innovation while simultaneously posing significant challenges to research integrity. This workshop will bring together stakeholders from Switzerland and India to explore their roles in promoting responsible research. The idea is to spark dialogue, mutual learning and potential partnerships. A key outcome will be a white paper offering recommendations for stakeholders in both countries and potentially informing global efforts to strengthen research integrity.

Pacific Ocean tsunami: UNESCO's early warning system proves once again its effectiveness

PRESS RELEASE   Pacific Ocean tsunami: UNESCO's early warning system proves once again its effectiveness   Paris, 30 July 2025 – Following the powerful earthquake originating off the coast of Russia, UNESCO's early warning systems triggered a tsunami alert within just ten minutes. Thanks to this global monitoring system which UNESCO has been deploying for more than 20 years, as well as the Organizations's efforts to raise awareness among coastal populations and lead research in ocean science, millions of people were warned ahead of the coming danger.   On the night of 29-30 July, an 8.8-magnitude undersea earthquake struck off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. This exceptionally powerful earthquake was the strongest recorded since the Tōhoku earthquake in Japan in 2011, and one of the ten strongest since 1900.   Just ten minutes after the earthquake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning System, coordinated by UNESCO, issued an initial warning covering the areas most at risk, particularly the Russian and Japanese coasts. This warning was then relayed by national centers and enabled the immediate implementation of evacuation plans in several countries.   Within twenty minutes of the earthquake, this system provided detailed forecasts of expected flood heights, and the alert was then extended to other countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. Many of these countries, including China, Indonesia, Mexico, the Philippines, Peru, the United States and New Zealand, then issued national alerts or carried out preventive evacuations.   "This timely alert once again demonstrates the crucial role of international scientific cooperation in the face of natural hazards. UNESCO oversees the global tsunami warning system, puts ocean science to work to protect millions of lives, and helps communities prepare for this risk," said Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO.   In response to the potential damage caused by the tsunami, the Director-General has pledged UNESCO's support to coastal communities, particularly in preserving and restoring their natural and cultural heritage.   A responsive system that saves lives   Established after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which claimed more than 220,000 lives, the global tsunami warning system coordinated by UNESCO relies on a dense network of sensors, tide gauges, and regional warning centers. This system is based on an alert chain combining scientific expertise, international coordination, and the rapid response capacity of local authorities. It enables the smooth and efficient flow of information: from analysis centers to governments, then from authorities to exposed populations.   This system now covers the Pacific, Indian, Caribbean, Northeast Atlantic, and Mediterranean ocean basins.   Alerting, while also preparing and understanding   Beyond alerting communities when tsunamis occur, UNESCO is working to strengthen the resilience of coastal populations through several key initiatives. UNESCO's Tsunami Ready programme, implemented in 43 countries, trains coastal communities in tsunami risk prevention through evacuation plans, information campaigns, and local warning systems. Full-scale evacuation drills are regularly organized to test the effectiveness of warning systems and raise awareness among populations.   The Organization also actively supports scientific research in this field to better understand how tsunamis occur, move and impact coastal areas. Risk modelling, ocean observation and seabed mapping thus enable better management of these ocean disasters.   Learn more Alert, Prepare, and Understand: 20 Years of UNESCO Action on Tsunamis UNESCO's Tsunami Ready Programme UNESCO's Ocean Programmes About UNESCO With 194 Member States, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization contributes to peace and security by leading multilateral cooperation on education, science, culture, communication and information.

ZHCES-JNU Seminar on Mixing Methods to Enable Research Impact | 1 August at 03.00pm

ZHCES Seminar Series

Mixing Methods to Enable Research Impact

Dr. Benjamin Matthew Alcott
Associate Professor, UCL Institute of Education
&
Dr Jwalin Patel
Cofounder and Codirector of Together In Development & Education (TIDE) Foundation

 

Abstract: This session will focus on how to mix research methods (both quantitative and qualitative) to enhance our understanding of education policies and enable greater impact in improving them. Our main concern is that research that focuses too much on a single method and/or speaking primarily to academic audiences will typically struggle to effect real change in policy and practice related to teaching. We will share experiences from recent projects, including on teacher agency in Bihar, and aim for this to be an interactive seminar in which attendees are enabled to share their own experiences and opinions.

Bio: Dr Benjamin Matthew Alcott is an Associate Professor at the UCL Institute of Education. His research focuses primarily on global education policy, especially in South Asia and East Africa. Dr Alcott's methodological expertise lies in econometrics, mixed methods, and longitudinal research designs. He received his PhD in Higher Education Policy from the University of Michigan. Previously, Dr Alcott has held academic positions at the University of Cambridge and was a Senior Research Officer at UNESCO. 
Dr Jwalin Patel is a research scholar who has been working in the education developmental sector for the last 15 years. His research (as an associate professor at University of Trans-Disciplinary Health Sciences and Technology, and previously as postdoc, PhD, and MPhil at University of Cambridge, UK) focuses on systems and implementation research for holistic education, education for harmony, and social emotional learning. He is also the co-founder and co-director of Together In Development & Education (TIDE) Foundation, a grassroots  organization, which runs several programs including education direct education provision, teacher empowerment, school improvement, and development of learning materials for activity-based learning and education as/for/through social justice.
