Would you like to harness the full potential of generative AI, rather than just reading about it? Then our hands-on hackathon is the perfect event for you! In this interactive workshop, you won’t just learn the theoretical basics of AI and prompt engineering – you’ll put your knowledge into practice straight away through practical exercises. With personalised guidance, live optimisations and real-world use cases, you’ll develop prompts that really work.
Register now – places are limited to 15 participants!
Why this event matters now
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming business, public administration and scientific work at an unprecedented pace. Generative AI models such as ChatGPT, in particular, are increasingly shaping decision-making, research and creative processes. However, it is often not the AI technology itself that determines success, but the quality of the input – the so-called prompts.
With our hands-on hackathon, we’re offering a practical workshop that focuses precisely on this: applying, understanding and optimising prompts to get the most out of AI systems.

Legal and practical relevance
Prompt engineering is more than ‘just asking good questions’ — it is key to the legally compliant, efficient and targeted use of AI. Particularly in the legal context, the quality of prompts leads to:
-
better research and analysis results
-
more precise document texts
-
more efficient workflows
-
reduced susceptibility to errors
It is essential to continually assess how generative AI tools can be used in a legally sound manner, for example with regard to data protection or liability for AI-generated content. Our workshop integrates these perspectives and provides practical solutions.
Practical examples and hands-on application
A key element of the workshop is the hands-on component:
participants bring their own cases to work on and receive personalised support to systematically improve their prompts. This takes place through an intensive exchange in which experiences, methods and best practices are shared. This means that participants not only learn, but also put what they’ve learnt into practice straight away.
