About the University of Bremen
The University of Bremen is a young, medium-sized research university. Together with the local research institutes and collaborative partners, it constitutes the leading research hub in north-western Germany. The university is a top performer in many areas of national and international excellence. Its international research profile is shaped in particular by five high-profile areas.
About Minds, Media, Machines
Minds, Media, Machines (MMM) is one of the five interdisciplinary, high-profile areas that largely define the research profile of the University of Bremen. Rooted in computer science, Minds, Media, Machines connects researchers from eight faculties of the university with numerous internal and external partners. They work together to enhance our understanding of intelligence, cognition in autonomous agents, and teams of agents in the context of mediatised worlds. The insights are then transferred into a new generation of social, computer-based, and cyber-physical systems that make a substantial contribution to the welfare of our society, for example, via embodied intelligent systems that are tailored to users' needs, ageing with users and supporting them over their entire lives while keeping the users in full control of their personal data.
About the Minds, Media, Machines Integrated Graduate School
The Minds, Media, Machines Integrated Graduate School (MMMIGS) serves as a hub for structured doctoral programmes within the Minds, Media, Machines interdisciplinary high-profile area at the University of Bremen. MMMIGS promotes structured doctoral education within MMM, supports doctoral candidates and supervisors within the high-profile area, and offers a demand-tailored scientific qualification programme. The qualification programme is complemented by transferable skills workshops offered by Bremen Early Career Researcher Development (BYRD) as well as thematic courses offered by the doctoral programmes themselves.
