About Peter Vojnits
Hello all! I did my Laidlaw Programme at Durham University between 2019-2021. My research project focused on evaluating the immigration and asylum system of the EU through a case study of the 2015 immigration crisis. Following the completion of my undergraduate LLB degree I moved to London to pursue my postgraduate LLM study at Queen Mary University of London.

Question for all of you about use of the Laidlaw Scholars Network
Hi everyone!
It was lovely to see all of you last week! I hope everyone has safely made it back home.
As promised, I'm starting this conversation thread to hear your throughts about the question posed at the end of Nikol and I's presentation on the Laidlaw Scholars Network. As discussed, we're looking to enhance usage of the Laidlaw Scholars Network amongst Scholars as well as Programme Administrators.
Please post your answers to the following question under this thread: Think of one way how you could use the Laidlaw Scholars Network to run the programme more effectively at your University. How can we help you achieve that?
Can't wait to hear your throughts!
PS: Please don't forget to complete to upload a profile picture and write a short bio if you haven't done so already!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Safeguarding policies
Hi everyone!
We are in the process of developing a Safeguarding Policy for the Laidlaw Scholars Network, our community.
Are there any other communities among the Zapnito customer base that have a Safeguarding Policy for their community? I'd be very interested to see some examples of best practices in this area and share ideas if there is interest.
Best,Peter

Congratulations Thomas! It is great to see such a wonderful outcome for your research!
Hi Kassiopeia,
This is a fascinating piece, thank you for sharing. I'm aware that AI is presenting some issues in academia lately. However, it also offers an opportunity. The quote from UCL seems to be an apt demonstration of this. AI should not be rejected outright, but should be used in a collaborative and meaningful way to enhance the world of academia.
I think we should harness AI's ability to generate text and ideas at a pace not seen before. Now that such technology is widely available to the public, I believe there is a real opportunity for academics/researchers/students to collaborate using AI to determine how ideas and theories fit together. Of course, ways to mitigate the risk of plagiarism should be developed as well, but AI should not be dismissed in its entirety.

Hi Mindy,
It is great to see that you had an insightful time in Fiji, and kudos to you for finding how you can best fit into a novel situation despite the cultural hurdles! This is something we really enjoy seeing after an LiA experience. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story and motivations Nhlanzeko Khanyile! Inspiring journey and authentic evolution of mindset. I felt really indentified with your best piece of advice: your efforts are never wasted.
I am a physician by training, and I am transitioning to a very different function. Making the decision to shift gears was not easy, precisely because I felt I was "wasting" my training.

Thank you for engaging, @Silvia Fernandez Mulero! Having read your biography, it is also very impressive! I look forward to hearing more about your journey through life in more in detail in one of our future Scholar Spotlights.
Such an innovative and inspiring way to share your research journey, Lizzie. It is also wonderful to see that you have a research project with an international element. Looking forward to reading your research paper on the Network!
