Jun. Prof. Dr Nicholas A. Güsken, physicist and nanotechnologist at Paderborn University, is being sponsored by the Wübben Science Foundation for a period of five years with a total of around 1.2 million euros.
We now encounter artificial intelligence (AI) almost everywhere. However, it is often difficult to understand the decisions made by AI. In the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (TRR) 318 at Paderborn University and Bielefeld University, researchers are therefore working on making explanatory processes more understandable for users.
When it comes to early childhood education, the state government prioritises the promotion of language skills among the youngest children in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is therefore driving forward the further development of language education integrated into everyday life.

The decarbonisation of industrial process heat is one of the major challenges of the energy transition. In industry, however, a significant proportion of the energy required is covered by fossil fuels, while only a small proportion of the energy used is recovered. This is where the joint project "HeatTransPlan" comes in.
After four years of intensive research, the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 318 "Constructing Explainability" is taking stock at the end of the first DFG funding phase.

In order to equip young people with valuable knowledge about quantum mechanics, Paderborn University has launched the "HedwiQ" project in cooperation with the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum (HNF). As part of this project and the "EIN Quantum NRW" education initiative, the free interactive exhibition "Art meets Quantum Physics" will open in the foyer of the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum.
