LUNE TWO
AI, Humanities and Social Sciences
An 8 week-fellowship for Researchers on AI intersections and opportunities for research.
This fellowship is designed to provide a practical and collaborative understanding of AI, its applications, and ethical considerations, for Nigerian graduate students in the humanities and social sciences. Participants will engage in classes, mini assignments and a final research project, focusing on the intersection of AI, humanities, and social sciences. Towards a safer, steerable and reliable future, the goal of the program is to inspire more Nigerian researchers to explore AI research in humanities and social science fields especially as it applies or can be applied to African communities.

The program has exceeded my expectations, aligning my knowledge and significantly enhancing my research capabilities from start to finish. It has been a worthwhile investment in my academic and research journey.
I gained so much. The sessions, every one of them has equipped me with the knowledge I never knew were essential to research. I'm 10x better than I've ever been in conducting research.
I gained a lot starting with research skills, importance of research, the nitty-gritty of research, how to coordinate myself during low moments during research. I am more confident about research.
I know what the journey to beginning and ending a research project entails. I learnt about the connection between research and sustainable development and how various disciplines contribute to addressing global challenges.
I wonder how my research capacity would have been without attending this program. It was a total turnaround experience for me. I got introduced to new tools that I ordinarily wouldn't have known. I sound like a genius before my peers when we discuss research, all thanks to Lune.
