About the ELLIS Institute Tübingen

Founded in 2023, the ELLIS Institute Tübingen has quickly established itself as a leading center for foundational AI research, attracting top machine learning talent and offering state-of-the-art facilities. Its mission is to advance pioneering AI research while contributing to the broader ELLIS initiative. Research areas include AI for science (in particular, physics), AI mechanisms, AI safety, probabilistic intelligence, cooperative machine intelligence, societal impacts, AutoML, computational and applied mathematics, deep models and optimization, robust machine learning, and innovative, resource-efficient AI. By integrating fundamental research with societal relevance, the institute is shaping the future of AI in Europe and globally, fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and talent development. Almost all PIs at the ELLIS Institute Tübingen have co-affiliations at either the Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems or the Tübingen AI Center, and the ELLIS Institute thus connects to the broader Tübingen AI ecosystem.
