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.
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.
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.
It is often not a lack of talent, but a non-academic family background that prevents young people from realising their opportunities to study. In OWL, talent scouts have been working in 55 cooperation schools since 2017 to break down these educational barriers and support talented young people on their way. Now 17 more schools from the region have been included in the programme.

A team of researchers from Paderborn University and participating universities in Norway, the Netherlands, Turkey and Malta have developed animated e-books for three to five-year-olds in ten different languages as part of a project funded by the EU with around 400,000 euros.
