About
Join us for an upcoming webinar to explore responsible, research-grade AI.

In a recent study, 84% of global researchers said they are using AI, but only 32% believe their institution provides strong governance and just 27% feel adequately trained (Researcher of the Future Report, Elsevier 2025).

To close this gap, you’ll discover:
  • A practical framework for approaching training and governance
  • Key considerations when evaluating AI tools
  • How LeapSpace™ combines peer-reviewed trusted content with transparency and privacy to encourage critical thinking
  • How librarians are already using LeapSpace

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain actionable strategies, hear real-world applications from a librarian and ask your questions during a live Q&A.

Discover LeapSpace, the research-grade AI workspace.
