Reducing production times, saving costs and identifying errors - artificial intelligence (AI) is an important key to product development. In order to bring users, providers and experts in AI together, eighteen partners from science and industry have developed a digital platform as part of the ‘AI Marketplace’ research project.

In the second episode of the new electrical engineering podcast “Current Affairs”, guest Andre Becker talks to the host, Olga Friesen, about the Electrical Engineering Day (E2-Day).

From March 25 to 28, 2024, the "Women Shaping the Information Society" project at Paderborn University invited schoolgirls in grades 7 to 13 to take part in a vacation program that immersed them in the world of STEM subjects and offered them guidance for their future studies.

Topics such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are also becoming increasingly relevant at school. Thanks to a cooperation with Paderborn University, pupils at Gymnasium Theodorianum can regularly deepen their knowledge in this area.

At the start of the summer semester 2024, 60 international students began their master's degree programme at the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics.

In the latest ranking by the Centre for Higher Education Development (CHE), Paderborn University once again receives top marks from students.

Prof. Dr Alessio Figalli, who has received several awards, gave a lecture on Friday, 26 April on the topic of "Beyond Boundaries: Recent Advances in the Obstacle Problem".

We are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Heike Trautmann as a new professor at our faculty at Paderborn University from the winter semester 2023/24. With her broad range of experience and passion for innovative research, she brings a wealth of expertise and commitment to our academic community.

This year's Weierstrass Lecture will be held by Prof. Dr. Alessio Figalli from ETH Zurich on the topic "Beyond Boundaries: Recent Advances in the Obstacle Problem". Figalli was awarded the Fields Medal in 2018. It is the highest award in the field of mathematics and has a reputation comparable to that of the Nobel Prize, which does not exist in this discipline.
