Claude Science Workshop

The Claude Science Workshop is a gathering that PhD students and postdocs organize at their own university, where they share how they use Claude in their research.

Think of it as a study group grad students run outside the lab. Attendees present on how they've used Claude for research tasks like organizing paper materials, analyzing data, or designing experiments, and the event often includes a speaker session where someone from Anthropic's science team is invited to join the conversation.

The person who organizes this workshop is a student selected for the PhD/postdoc track of the Claude Campus Ambassador program run by Anthropic. Unlike the undergraduate track, which runs hands-on events like hackathons, or the graduate track, which hosts discussion sessions on AI and society, this track is specifically focused on bringing together people who actually use AI in their research.

As the article puts it, "the PhD/postdoc track is responsible for organizing Claude Science Workshops that bring together scientists who use AI in their research." One thing that's easy to misunderstand: this isn't an official conference run directly by Anthropic — it's a gathering that a student selected as an ambassador organizes independently at their own school.

If you want to host this workshop at your own school:

1. Select the PhD/postdoc track on the Claude Campus Ambassador application form.
2. Write specifically about your school, your field of study, and your actual experience using Claude in research.
3. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so submit as soon as the application period opens.
