DESCRIPTION:The Integrative Think Tank bridges the gap between complex ind
 ustry problems and academic research\, fostering innovation and developing
  future talent.\nWhat is the ITT?\nThe ITT is a five-day challenge worksho
 p with two industrial partners. Participants and experts from the companie
 s work together to investigate R&D topics related to current developments 
 in these companies.\nWhat is the goal of the event?\nThe goal of the even
 t is to formulate research topics as thesis project outlines (PhD or Maste
 r). After the event\, the university and the partner companies join forces
  to convert the project outlines into actual research projects.\nWho can p
 articipate?\nThe ITT is open to Master’s students\, PhD candidates\, and
  Postdocs at 4EU+ member universities. You should have a solid background 
 in mathematics and computer science/machine learning. Typically\, particip
 ants work in the STEM subjects\, but economics\, law\, or the social scien
 ces are also possible. The ITT is most successful if participants from var
 ious fields work together to analyze the challenges.\nTravel support is av
 ailable to selected participants of 4EU+ universities.\nImpressions of the
  previous year\nIn 2025 an ITT took place at the Interdisciplinary Center 
 for Scientific Computing in Heidelberg. See the recap video on YouTube.\nW
 hat are the benefits?\n\ninsights into hot topics in R&D departments\ndire
 ct contact with companies for internships\, practicals\, or later employme
 nt\nCertificate of participation over 2 ECTS\nPossibility of using the res
 ulting research questions for a thesis\, dissertation\, or other research 
 project\n\n \nThe ITT is co-funded by SCAI\, the MSCA Doctoral Network AI
