The
programme
The tour will present cutting-edge research
activities in the field of computer science in southwest Germany. Visits to
universities and research institutions in the cities of Constance, Freiburg,
Karlsruhe and Saarbrücken are planned.
In order to create an optimum basis for the
initiation of joint projects, the programme will focus on issues relating to
Artificial Intelligence and Visual/Multimodal Computing, such as Autonomous
Intelligent Systems, Humanoid Robots, Ambient Assisted Living, Visual Analytics
or Simulation Technology. Comprehensive information on funding opportunities
for cooperation in education and research in the field of computer science –
such as the DAAD's funding scheme "FITweltweit" – will also be
provided.
Who may
apply?
Applicants typically have a strong research
background and an equally strong interest in international cooperation. As
experienced scientists, their research profile matches the topic of the science
tour. They must have held a PhD/doctorate for at least two years and be
affiliated to a non-German university/research institute.
Those who currently work as research administrators
in universities or research institutes, as policy-makers in national agencies
or as other experts in the fields of science and higher education are also
welcome to apply.
All applicants should be in a position to initiate
and manage major projects in cutting-edge research or educational cooperation.
They should not have recently participated in another informational trip to
Germany. German language skills are not necessary since the programme will be
conducted in English. To apply, please visit the website www.research-ingermany.de/sciencetour2014.
