Level Up. Actively shaping digitization.
With CAIS, we are taking digitization research in NRW to the next level. In April 2021, we received the grant notification for long-term funding from the Ministry of Culture and Science. Since then, we have been developing the CAIS into a central institute for digitization research.
Learn about the goals of CAIS and our new research programs in a celebratory setting. Learn how Artificial Intelligence can be used in education, how digital democratic innovations can help in the design of smart city projects and how trust in Artificial Intelligence can be communicated.
The event is under the patronage of Ina Brandes, Minister for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
