The Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI – German Informatics Society) is awarding Professor Wolfgang Wahlster, long-time Chairman of the Management Board of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), the prestigious Konrad Zuse Medal for Services to Computer Science.
An international team of researchers, including mathematician Jonas Haferkamp from Saarland University, has discovered a new phenomenon in the world of quantum physics. States that appear completely random, without actually being so, are generated much faster than previously thought. This could significantly improve many quantum-physical applications. Due to its fundamental importance, the findings were published in the journal Science.
From September 1–5, 2025, the Saarland Informatics Campus will host the internationally renowned Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata Conference. Around 110 to 150 international participants are expected to attend – including leading researchers in logic, games, formal methods, verification, and algorithmic modeling.
You’re starting a computer science–related degree program this coming winter semester at Saarland University (e.g., Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Cybersecurity, Data Science & AI, Business Informatics, or Computer Science for Teaching)? Then the Math Prep Course is just right for you!
Satellite images, social media and barcode scanners in shops offer a wealth of data that has so far been little used in the social sciences. New AI-supported methods are helping with the evaluation, but they require a great deal of IT expertise and legal and ethical consideration. This interdisciplinary expertise is now to be pooled in a competence centre called ‘Societal Observatory Using Novel Data Sources (SOUNDS)’.
