ELLIS Institute Tübingen
 


The ELLIS Institute aims to become a world-class center pioneering fundamental research in the field of artificial intelligence. The institute will attract international top machine learning talent, providing them with outstanding conditions to conduct research in a state-of-the-art facility located in Tübingen, Germany.

The vision is part of a broader initiative, the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), which aims to build a pan-European institution for machine learning research.

How to develop an ELLIS Institute: Whitepaper

Since its launch in 2018, ELLIS has built a network of 40 research units across 15 countries; created a highly-competitive pan-European PhD programme, which in 2022 attracted over 1900 applications from 81 countries; and established a research initiative that engages world-leading researchers in 16 cutting-edge programmes that address critical areas of technology development and social need. These existing initiatives have demonstrated the ELLIS network’s value in enhancing the European AI ecosystem at local, national, and international-levels. In its next phase of development, ELLIS will amplify this impact through the creation of high-profile, internationally-leading ELLIS research institutes. This whitepaper sets out an approach to developing such institutes and lists relevant criteria.
