LOURIM — AI for Research Seminar Series

Source materials for a four-part seminar series on using AI tools in academic research, run at the Louvain Research Institute in Management (LOURIM, UCLouvain).

The four seminars

#	Title	Materials
1	Tools for AI-assisted research	slides · practical
2	Responsible AI	seminar-2-responsible-ai/
3	Better prompting	seminar-3-better-prompting/
4	Sustainable AI	seminar-4-sustainable-ai/

How materials are organised

Each seminar-N-*/ folder contains:

• slides/ — the theoretical talk. Both the editable Keynote source (.key) and a PDF export, so participants without macOS can still read the slides.
• practical/ — the hands-on session. A LaTeX tutorial document (.tex source) plus the compiled .pdf handout.

For participants

You only need the PDFs.

• Click into the seminar folder you want.
• Open slides/*.pdf for the talk and practical/tutorial.pdf for the practical handout.
• GitHub renders both PDFs in the browser, or you can download them.

You do not need to clone the repository or install LaTeX.

For maintainers

Rebuild the practical PDF

cd seminar-1-tools/practical
pdflatex tutorial.tex && pdflatex tutorial.tex

Two passes are needed so the table of contents and cross-references resolve.

Re-export the slide deck

Open the .key file in Keynote, then File → Export To → PDF. Save next to the .key with the same base name.

What the repo does not track

LaTeX intermediates (.aux, .log, .out, .toc, .synctex.gz) and macOS metadata (.DS_Store) are ignored — see .gitignore.
