midlands innovation

About this tag
The midlands innovation tag on WindowsForum.com covers the AI.RDN+ initiative, a £3.4 million national network led by Aston University and the University of Leeds. This four-year programme maps how publicly available generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot are used in doctoral research across the UK. It produces practical guidance, training, case studies, and a living portal for supervisors, examiners, and research-enabling teams. The tag highlights regional leadership in AI governance and responsible research practices, focusing on the Midlands as a hub for developing best-practice resources that support ethical and effective use of AI in higher education.
