Bringing together perspectives from AI\, cybersecurity\, governance\, and sustainable branding\, the workshop explores the technical and organizational challenges in building trustworthy\, transparent\, and compliant product data systems.Workshop Organizer: Selcen Ozturkcan\, Associate Professor of Business Administration\, Linnaeus University \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Parallel Workshops\, Session 3\n				“What do I need for successful interdisciplinary research? Education as a collaborative exercise”In this interactive workshop we will discuss what makes successful interdisciplinary research\, including trust and leadership\, fostering an environment where mistakes can be made\, and creating a shared working language. Interdisciplinary groups will then create a mock educational experience on a challenging topic to explore how interdisciplinary collaboration in education can prepare young researchers to face global challenges.Workshop Organizer: Kristen Schroeder\, Scientific Training Officer\, SciLifeLab  \n“Uses and understandings of synthetic data in DDLS domains – a conversation about generation methods and use cases across DDLS\, WASP & WASP-HS”Synthetic data can mean widely varying things\, which makes defining and evaluating it difficult. Likewise\, it sometimes misaligns with other values\, like objectivity\, reproducibility and transparency. This workshop will discuss what synthetic data is\, why it is useful\, and what it does to the science it becomes embedded in. We will engage in hands-on\, analogue activities to facilitate collaborative discussion.Workshop Organizer: Ericka Johnson\, Professor in Gender and Society\, Linköping University \n“The Art of Human-AI Collaboration and Teaming Research”The art of Human-AI Teaming research is discovering and addressing the complications that matter\, which unfold in real practice.
