Focus Topics

An MDSI Focus Topic is a dynamically set up group of scientists at all stages (professors to doctoral researchers or even motivated master’s students) that intend to collaborate on a specific research topic along the themes of data science, machine learning or AI. Focus topics are being assembled bottom-up rather than top-down and their members define the mode of operation. This could be, e.g.

collaborating to apply for larger structural programs with external funding agencies (like DFG clusters or CRCs),
organizing (regular, international) workshops or conferences, or
publishing papers.

While the members of an MDSI Focus Topic are affiliated with TUM, collaboration with external partners is strongly encouraged.
MDSI supports its Focus Topics by offering

collaboration space at its premises,
help and financial support for organizing workshops or conferences,
funds for visiting researchers,
seed funds for new projects (via annual calls),
services related to research data management.
