than 800,000 Euro for Bielefeld University/CITEC Cluster of Excellence to head
new programme
Equipping machines with the necessary intelligence that will
enable them to recognize how to make life easier for their human users all by
themselves: To further this research, Bielefeld University is strengthening its
international ties with leading universities and research institutes on five
continents. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is providing more than
800,000 Euro for the new Thematic Network: Interactive Intelligent Systems.
Bielefeld University’s Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Information Technology
(CITEC) will be running the programme. Bielefeld already has one Thematic
Network in the theoretical sciences set up in 2013. The DAAD is funding a total
of 28 Thematic Networks throughout Germany.
