We now encounter artificial intelligence (AI) almost everywhere. However, it is often difficult to understand the decisions made by AI. In the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (TRR) 318 at Paderborn University and Bielefeld University, researchers are therefore working on making explanatory processes more understandable for users.
When it comes to early childhood education, the state government prioritises the promotion of language skills among the youngest children in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is therefore driving forward the further development of language education integrated into everyday life.

The decarbonisation of industrial process heat is one of the major challenges of the energy transition. In industry, however, a significant proportion of the energy required is covered by fossil fuels, while only a small proportion of the energy used is recovered. This is where the joint project "HeatTransPlan" comes in.
After four years of intensive research, the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 318 "Constructing Explainability" is taking stock at the end of the first DFG funding phase.
