We're excited to announce NCL in Action 2024/25, a year-long series of events and volunteering opportunities designed to unite our community to explore the opportunities and challenges posed by modern technology and AI. 

This year, our programme will focus on the ways in which AI and future technologies could potentially change our lives and the way that we work while considering the answer to the questions on everyone’s mind: Will AI take our jobs? Can AI save the planet? How is AI advancing medical research? 

Throughout the year we will be exploring AI’s impact on the workplace, health, education, sustainability and creative industries. 

Gain industry insights  

 

Our 60-minute industry insight sessions provide those working in industries most affected by AI with the opportunity to share thoughts and experiences whilst gaining fresh ideas and perspectives. The programme aims to match those in the same industry to discuss how AI and technology are shaping the career landscape, share insights into how your business is adopting AI, explore essential emerging skills, and examine new career paths and evolving networking opportunities.  

Expand your knowledge  

  • Learn more about the latest AI research taking place right here at the university, along with practical advice from alumni and industry experts on using AI in everyday life.  
  • Find out more about how AI is impacting the job application process and increase your productivity with AI tools. 
  • Enhance your skills, broaden your knowledge, and contribute to discussions that will inspire, inform, and prepare you for the next phase of your career in a world where technology drives progress. 

Launching NCL in Action on 18 October 2024

The programme will launch on Friday 18 October focusing on the role of AI in the workplace. Join us to hear from industry leaders and Newcastle researchers on what we can do to adapt and thrive in this new landscape.
