Research Training Group i.c.sens (GRK 2159)
How can the trustworthiness of automated and autonomous systems (integrity) be ensured so that they do not pose a threat to humans? And how can collaboration between the different sensors of such systems be used to achieve this? The PhD students of the Research Training Group i.c.sens. are researching these problems. Since December 2016, the DFG provides the funding for the RTG.

International Research Training Group 2657
The International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2657 provides a collaborative framework for scientists from Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) and École normale supérieure (ENS) Paris-Saclay to focus on joint research and doctoral education in computational mechanics. A major goal is the development of sophisticated model order reduction methods with special emphasis on non-linear and high-dimensional problems. Possible applications include fatigue prognoses for engineering structures, stochastic evaluations of processes taking place beneath the surface of the Earth or tools for planning individual surgeries on tablet computers. Each doctoral candidate is supported by at least two supervisors, one in Germany and one in France.

Research Training Group 1931 SocialCars
The focus of SocialCars is on significantly improving future urban road traffic, through cooperative approaches. "How can individual travelers make optimal use of the transport infrastructure, so that safety is increased and congestion and pollution are reduced?" is the key question. SocialCars aims to answer this question by investigating the interaction between centralized (system-optimal) management and decentralized (user-optimal) decisions of traffic participants.
