    Carl-Zeiss-Humboldt-Research Prize STEM impulses - Individual funding programmes – Carl Zeiss Humboldt Research Award

    Short description

    The research prize honors top international scientists. The scientists' discoveries, theories or findings have a lasting impact on their field and contribute to aspects of diversity.

    Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (ZAKI) Artificial Intelligence - Project funding programmes – CZS Individual funding

    Short description

    The Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (ZAKI) at Ernst Abbe University connects actors from science, business and society. The aim is to advance artificial intelligence in these areas and, above all, to put it into practice.

    Certification and Foundations of SafeMachine Learning Systems in Healthcare Artificial Intelligence - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    An interdisciplinary team at the University of Tübingen is exploring principles for the safe use of AI systems in healthcare and developing guidelines for their certification.

    Chitin fluid: Chitin as a resource for multifunctional materials via water-based complex fluids Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Perspectives

    Short description

    Among other things, chitin is the main component of the exoskeleton of spiders. Research is being conducted into chitin-based materials that can be chemically modified to make them fireproof, mold-resistant, robust and - unlike synthetic polymers - compostable.

    Co-cultivation of anaerobic methanogens with aerobic methanotrophs in a bio-electrochemical 200% cell (CoMet2) Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Wildcard

    Short description

    The project aims to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals, such as raw materials for the chemical industry. To this end, an electro-biotechnological 200% reactor is being developed. In this reactor, a co-culture of two microorganisms will initially convert CO2 into methane and then into chemical products.

    CO-HUMANICS: Co-presence between humans and Interactive Companions for seniors Life Science Technologies - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    Two different assistance systems are being researched: Avatars and assistance robots. The aim is to enable seniors to communicate with remote relatives in their own homes as if they were there.

    Communication Center FORUM Friedrich Schiller University Jena STEM impulses - Large individual funding projects – CZS Individual funding

    Short description

    The FORUM communication and meeting center serves interdisciplinary exchange. With conference and meeting rooms, it is being built in downtown Jena.

    Complex three-dimensional biomimetic sensor and organoid networks to yield functional data of the intestinal barrier (OriDarmi) Life Science Technologies - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    In the OriDarmi project, methods are being developed to study the physiological processes in intestinal wall-like cell assemblies in order to better understand the influence of drugs, food components, microorganisms or disease-causing substances on the intestine.

    Computational Psychiatry Conference 2025 Artificial Intelligence - Individual funding programmes – CZS Plus

    Short description

    The International Conference on Computational Psychiatry will take place at the University of Tübingen in July 2025. In addition to professors from the University of Tübingen, scientists from the UK and the USA are co-organizers.

    Continuous improvement and evidence-based assessment of gait in musculoskeletal pathologies using an AI-assisted sensor system exemplified by peroneal paresis (OrthoKI) Life Science Technologies - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    OrthoKI is researching an orthotic fitting optimized with AI methods. The sensor-based splint attached to the foot is intended to optimize the therapy of patients with foot dorsiflexion whose ability to walk is limited.
