With its strategic funding line “Ideas Lab” (Ideenlabor), the University of Münster supports bold, creative projects in research, teaching, and knowledge transfer. A unique feature of this program is its two-step selection process: After a content-based review, funding is allocated by lottery among the positively evaluated proposals. This approach aims to reduce unconscious bias and give unconventional, high-risk ideas a fair chance to thrive.
With the aim of strengthening collaboration and visibility across computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, and digital humanities, the University of Münster hosted a university-wide kick-off workshop today.
Taking up impulses from the ranks of academics, the Rectorate has set out to take a critical look at the University of Münster's research profile and areas of potential and to embark on a comprehensive and consistently participatory process of sharpening its profile.
