Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are transforming scientific exploration and modeling. By constructing data-driven predictive and causal models, AI enables us to address phenomena that are currently intractable using traditional approaches.
The Max Planck Society conducts basic research in the natural sciences, life sciences, and humanities, covering a broad range of research fields from Astronomy & Astrophysics to Biology & Medicine, Computer Science & Robotics, Material Sciences & Technology, Chemistry & Physics, as well as Environment & Climate or Arts and Law. With its 84 Max Planck Institutes and cutting-edge facilities, it is the international flagship for fundamental research in Germany.
The Max Planck Artificial Intelligence Network (MP-AIX) fosters collaborations involving top Max Planck researchers, combining AI capabilities with broad scientific expertise and deep domain knowledge to leverage scientific synergies at the highest level. At the core of MP-AIX is its interdisciplinary doctoral fellowship program. Ph.D. students benefit from joint supervision by directors or group leaders from different Max Planck Institutes, with the possibility of co-advisors supplying high-level AI expertise from the ELLIS Network. This unique opportunity offers young academics outstanding collaboration and exchange possibilities, as well as benefits such as summer schools, workshops, and internships.
