About us

...an interdisciplinary research institute. Our goal: intelligent technical systems.

The way to these systems is via increased integration of computer science and engineering. This shapes the way we think and act: we develop bold concepts for intelligent, adaptable and robust technical systems that think ahead and are user-friendly. Developing these systems requires new approaches and new techniques – and we deliver both. Our aim is to be a new school for the design and development of tomorrow’s technological systems.

Innovation requires top-class minds. We teach our talented young people the expertise, methodology and social skills that the future demands and prepare them for taking up responsible positions in business and science. Every year, around 20 young researchers complete their doctorate at our institute.
