EFFISCIANCE awarded for its AI Training Programs for scientists

08/04/2025

EFFISCIANCE, the suite of Generative AI training programs tailored for researchers and scientists, has received the 2025 Innovation Trophy in the Services category at Forum LABO 2025, a leading event for research and laboratory professionals.

Generative AI: a strategic turning point for the scientific world

Generative Artificial Intelligence continues the legacy of major innovations that have shaped the history of science. By automating certain cognitive tasks and enhancing access to knowledge, it is reshaping research practices, from data collection to results dissemination. Its integration is no longer a mere technological option but a strategic necessity.

But this power brings as many opportunities as challenges:

What uses are truly suited to scientific contexts?
How can we regulate these technologies without hindering their potential?
What ethical, methodological, or regulatory risks need to be anticipated?
And above all, how can research teams be enabled to adopt these tools with discernment and efficiency?

Mastering Generative AI is not just about learning to use tools, it’s about understanding a new grammar of science, rethinking professional habits, and evolving working methods to remain aligned with tomorrow’s scientific standards.

Recognition for an innovative scientific training program

While Generative AI is a hot topic, few initiatives succeed in offering a structured, ethical, and directly applicable approach tailored to the scientific domain. It is precisely this ability to turn a complex technology into a practical, rigorous, and profession-oriented training program that earned EFFISCIANCE the Innovation Trophy in the Services category at Forum LABO 2025.

This trophy rewards an approach that is both strategic and grounded in real-world practice. EFFISCIANCE is a program designed by scientists, for scientists, with a clear and pragmatic understanding of their work. It is the result of discussions within our Scientific Committee, a space for reflection that brings together researchers with diverse profiles, working together to anticipate the needs of tomorrow’s science and develop concrete solutions.

Our mission: to support the responsible adoption of AI without compromising scientific rigor, data confidentiality, or research integrity.

Training in Generative AI to transform science

EFFISCIANCE offers a range of professional training programs focused on scientific uses of Generative AI, structured around key functions and workflows. Each module addresses a specific operational need, combining technical aspects, methodological insights, and critical thinking around the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, NotebookLM, Perplexity, and many more.

Key topics include:

Prompt Engineering

Scientific Writing

Scientific Monitoring

Teaching with AI

Integrating AI into Scientific Teams

Qualitative Analysis

Scientific Communication

Image Analysis

Statistics with R – Beginner

Statistics with R – Advanced

Our vision is that of augmented science, where AI becomes a driver of productivity and creativity, without ever replacing scientific rigor or critical thinking. Far from substituting researchers, AI acts as a strategic ally: a powerful assistant capable of supporting analysis, automating repetitive tasks, and feeding reflection, while leaving humans in full control and responsibility of decisions. With EFFISCIANCE, scientists learn how to leverage the full potential of these technologies while maintaining control over their data, workflows, and communications.
