Excellence Cluster "Internet of Production" (IoP)
The Excellence Cluster Internet of Production (IoP) is one of three clusters that will receive funding from 2019 as part of the Excellence Initiative at RWTH Aachen University. The goal of the Excellence Cluster IoP is to ensure a holistic production of the future that is intelligent, efficient, needs-based and of high quality.
Prof. Dr. Stefanie Elgeti is involved as a principal investigator and Prof. Karen Veroy-Grepl Ph.D. as an associated principal investigator.
Prof. Omar Ghattas, Ph.D. - Large-Scale Bayesian Inversion with Applications to the Flow of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Twice a year, the AICES fellows organize the prestigious Charlemagne Lecture, whose objective is to invite persons, who have achieved impressive accomplishments throughout their career and, in this sense, to get inspired by their scientific achievements.
As the 16th speaker, the AICES fellows invited Prof. Omar Ghattas, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Computational Geosciences and Optimization, Institute for Computational Engineering Sciences (ICES) of the University of Texas at Austin, USA. Professor Ghattas gave a talk on "Large-Scale Bayesian Inversion with Applications to the Flow of the Antarctic Ice Sheet" on October 29, 2018 at 3pm in the GeneraliHall of Super C (6th floor).
We were very pleased about his visit and we will be honoured to welcome Omar Ghattas any time again.

Helmholtz to Invest an Additional 35 Million Euros Annually in Digitalizing Research
The Helmholtz Association is creating four innovative platforms to digitalize research. To this end, Germany’s largest research organization will invest a total of 35 million euros per year.
Each platform is located at one or more Helmholtz Centers and creates an active network that also includes other researchers. Specific funding lines will be established for this purpose. Helmholtz will build the platforms over the next few months and open a wide range of opportunities to interact with other research organizations and universities. The largest German research organization will recruit leading scientists from around the world and initiate future-oriented projects.
The four new platforms are:
- Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA): Training young scientists at newly designed graduate schools within a national consortium
- Helmholtz Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Unit (HAICU): Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Helmholtz Imaging Platform (HIP): Imaging procedures & analysis methods
- Helmholtz Infrastructure for Federated ICT Services (HIFIS): Basic technologies and services for large scale data-driven research
