The post graduate school "Cognitive Computing in Socio-Technical Systems" of Ulm University and the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, which is funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg, aims to develop innovative approaches for cognitive machines and the upcoming era of cognitive computing. Those approaches constitute the methodological and technological foundation for implementing complex infrastructures that enable the creation of new kinds of socio-technical systems in which humans and artificial system collaborate and interact with each other. Respective infrastructures further will enable the implementation of intelligent service robots and companion systems as well as a resource-effective control of logistics and production processes. 

The post graduate school offers twelve scholarships, of which six have already been awarded. Researchers from both institutions will be working together with the scholarship holders, offering knowledge from various research fields, such as psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroinformatics, autonomous systems, production management, service robotics, as well as databases and information systems.

The scholarship holders

Mathias Rieder, Richard Verbeet, and Timo Blender are M. Sc. graduates of the University of Applied Sciences Ulm. Christine Schnepf and Tim Mohring achieved their master's degree at Ulm University.
