\n\t\t\t\tThe United Kingdom has joined the race to attract international research talent disillusioned by the Trump administration\u2019s attack on science and universities in the United States. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is investing \u00a354 million over the next five years.

\n\t\t\t\tThirty-two Indian universities have been flagged as being among the most \u2018at risk\u2019 worldwide by a new Research Integrity Risk Index, which identifies academic institutions with systemic research irregularities. This is a notable increase from the initial seven universities flagged with the most publications.

\n\t\t\t\tArtificial intelligence may be good at answering questions. But can AI help us to come up with good questions in the first place? We have considered whether Large Language Models may potentially play a role in identifying important and impactful health-related research questions.

\n\t\t\tAI is reshaping research, from drafting proposals to automating parts of peer review and assessment. It is both exacerbating the need for research assessment reform and offering potential solutions. AI-augmented assessment models, where technology supports \u2013 but never replaces \u2013 human judgement, might offer a way forward.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSkills-based hiring is rapidly becoming the dominant recruitment paradigm and has big implications for higher education systems, emphasising demonstrable competencies over traditional indicators like degrees, job titles or experience. Universities must adapt by integrating practical competencies while reaffirming their broader educational and civic missions.<\/p>\n
