The German Research Foundation will fund two collaborative research centers at Saarland University, which already have received funding since 2014, with an additional 18 million euros for four more years. The Collaborative Research Center “Information Density and Linguistic Encoding” focuses on the information density of linguistic expressions. The Transregional Collaborative Research Center “Control of Body Homeostasis by TRP Channel Modules” focuses on proteins that play an important role in cellular processes.
Saarland University, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems are part of one of only three newly established “Konrad Zuse Schools” for Artificial Intelligence, which are being set up by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
Sven Apel, professor of computer science at Saarland University, received together with colleagues the “Most Influential Paper Award” for their paper “Measuring Progamming Experience” at the “International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC)”. With the award the researchers are honored for investigating a key question of the field, which had a lasting impact on research on program comprehension.
On 28 April 2022, the largest decentralized German-Czech testbed for distributed production in the paradigm of Industry 4.0 was inaugurated at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CIIRC CTU). On this occasion, in the presence of government representatives, two further cooperation agreements were signed with the German Fraunhofer IWU and the Czech VŠB-TUO University in Ostrava.
In old age, memory performance declines in most people, often to such an extent that this massively affects their everyday life. In a joint study with Stanford University, bioinformaticians at Saarland University have now identified a protein with a rejuvenating effect that influences the process of declining brain performance in old age. Their research findings were published in the journal Nature. The New York Times also reported.
