As coordinators of the Fraunhofer Big Data Alliance we bring together the cross-sector expertise of 28 Fraunhofer institutes. We not only provide businesses with Big Data solutions tailored to their specific requirements but we also manage the training and qualification of young talents wanting to become data scientists.
The Fraunhofer Vision Alliance institutes specialize in research into automatic image processing and machine vision and the developments required to make them practical tools for industry.
The links we have with the research and teaching departments of a number of leading universities is vitally important to the Fraunhofer institutes. Our latest research is consistently put into practice through close working relationships with the University of Bonn, the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology (b-it) and the Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. We are also actively involved in several national and European research programs.
Prof. Dr. Stefan Wrobel, Institute Director of Fraunhofer IAIS, is professor of Computer Science at the University of Bonn and chair of the department of »Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems«. Many other members of our scientific staff are also working and lecturing at university level and are increasingly visible within the international scientific community and publishing highly regarded papers and dissertations.
In 2002 the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology (b-it) was founded by us in conjunction with the RWTH Aachen University and the University of Bonn. Its international Master programs in Applied Computer Science help attract top executives from all over the world into this increasingly specialized area.
