DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Francesco De Gasperin (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofi
 sica (INAF))\n\nThe workshop aims to bring together researchers with hands
 -on experience in using advanced Large Language Models (LLMs)\, such as Ch
 atGPT and Claude\, to explore their potential applications in astrophysica
 l research\, share expertise\, and collaboratively develop practical tools
  and workflows.\nThe workshop will focus on two main objectives:\n\n\nProd
 uctivity: How can state-of-the-art LLMs improve the efficiency and effecti
 veness of astrophysical research? Which tools and approaches are most usef
 ul\, how can they be integrated into existing research workflows\, and how
  can best practices be shared across the community?\n\n\nScientific valida
 tion: How can AI-assisted research meet the standards of scientific rigour
 \, reproducibility\, and publication? Which validation strategies are effe
 ctive\, and what are the capabilities and limitations of these tools?\n\n\
 nWorkshop format\nTo encourage active participation and productive exchang
 es\, attendance is limited to 20 selected participants. Priority will be g
 iven to individuals with prior practical experience who are eager to share
  their insights. This information will be gathered through the expression 
 of interest form\, so applicants are highly encouraged to highlight their 
 practical background. Please note that this workshop will be an in-person-
 only event.\nThe programme will combine a small number of introductory and
  invited talks with interactive round-table discussions and hands-on hacka
 thon sessions. Particular emphasis will be placed on collaborative work\, 
 with the goal of developing concrete tools\, identifying best practices\, 
 and exploring solutions to challenges relevant to the astrophysical commun
 ity.\n \nPractical information\n\n\nDates: 26–28 January 2027 (9:30 - 1
 7:30)\n\n\nVenue: Room 214 CNR Area (Bologna\, Italy)\n\n\nThere will be n
 o registration fee (meals will not be provided)\n\n\nFurther details regar
 ding the programme and participation will be communicated in due course. W
 e look forward to bringing together researchers interested in shaping the 
 effective\, reliable\, and scientifically rigorous use of state-of-the-art
  AI in astrophysics.\nConfirmed Invited: \n\nJames Nightingale (Universit
