Funding is being provided for the establishment of a professorship for computer science and its didactics at the Tübingen School of Education, a central inter-faculty academic institution for teacher training at the University of Tübingen.
The professorship connects the two constituent profile lines of teacher education and computer science at the University's Koblenz campus and thus forms an integrating interface.
The endowed professorship is a building block for raising the profile of computer science and for teacher training at Trier University. It is to be advertised as a junior professorship in the tenure track procedure.
AI systems make decisions, e.g. in autonomous driving. The endowed professorship aims to improve the transparency and comprehensibility of these decisions. Innovative methods and tools will be developed to explain complex AI models.
The endowed professorship aims to take a comprehensive view of multimodal data sets in the life sciences. AI methods will be used to record, summarize and analyze these. The aim is to depict and understand the onset of diseases and derive new treatments.
CZS junior professor Andrea Pannwitz (tenure track) is researching a pioneering energy conversion process at the University of Jena and HIPOLE. The aim is to use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into valuable compounds and produce hydrogen.
Prof. Dr Michèle Finck has taken over the endowed professorship for the law of artificial intelligence in Tübingen as of 01.07.2021. The chair is intended to meet the challenges of self-learning AI and Big Data to the value and legal system.
Prof. Dr. Philipp Wiehle has held the Chair of Sustainable Use of Locally Sourced and Produced Materials in Construction at Biberach University of Applied Sciences since March 1, 2026. In his research, he aims to address systemic issues related to the use of straw and clay as load-bearing building components.
Universities have high CO2 emissions due to energy-intensive infrastructures. The project team is developing AI-supported planning models to reduce energy consumption, make better use of renewable energies and reduce emissions.
Prof. Dr. Peter Bretschneider was appointed Endowed Professor for Energy Use Optimisation at TU Ilmenau starting in the winter semester of 2016.
