Course calendar

The RVS Spring course 2025 is hosted by VID Oslo in cooperation with University College Stockholm, and held at the Diakonhjemmet campus in Oslo.

This year's theme is: What is A.I. – and what’s in it for the PhD student? Critical and promising implications for researchers, academia and society. 

See here for more details. 

The course will discuss A.I. and the impact on new techologies through the following, inter-related lenses:

1. A.I. and its consequences for society. What are the implications for the pratices where RVS members have their research interest?  
2. A.I. and our research practices: 

1. A.I. as useful tool that may help us in many of our activities, but that also play back into our activities. Transcriptions, literature reviews, language, teaching. Emphasis on practical issues, but also some basic research ethics. 
2. A.I. and fundamental consequences for research practices and identities. Core ethical and exitential issues around the future of research as we know it. 

A more detailed program, and registration fee, will be published in not too long.  

Keynotes and responsible for introductions are, among others: Ingeborg Hognestad Krange (Østfold University College), Rikard Roitto (University College Stockholm/EHS), Marianne Schleicher (Århus University) and Atle Søvik (MF Vitenskapelig høyskole, Oslo).

This is the first course for the continued RVS 2025-2029, and we look forward to seeing you in Oslo in May!
