Faculty AI Upskilling

Two pathways for UVA Faculty to build AI capability — a year-long funded cohort and a series of hands-on summer workshops.

The AI Research Initiative at UVA supports faculty who want to extend their research with AI, whether that means entering the field for the first time or sharpening specific skills. Drop into the Summer Workshop Series for targeted, practical training.

AI Research Summer Upskilling Workshops

Short, hands-on sessions for faculty, researchers, and graduate students. Most are lunch-hour (noon-1:00 PM); a few extended sessions run two hours. Attend in person or join by Zoom.
