Paderborn University becomes a founding member of the "ELLIS Unit NRW" research unit. ELLIS ("European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems") is a European network of excellence that brings together leading AI researchers and aims to strengthen Europe's international competitiveness in AI research. The network is organised in units, the so-called "ELLIS Units". The ELLIS Unit NRW, whose co-director is professor Dr Axel-Cyrille Ngonga…
As part of an international team, scientists from Paderborn University have developed a new method to quickly and accurately detect toxic arsenic variants in soil and water. The study, which was published in the journal "Nanoscale" of the Royal Society of Chemistry, shows how simple technologies can replace expensive laboratory procedures and enable rapid on-site analyses.
The social differences in the digital skills of eighth-graders have widened significantly over the past ten years. This is shown by a new analysis by the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Educational Research and Information, Goethe University Frankfurt and Paderborn University.
A reason to celebrate: the Laboratory for Materials and Joining Technology (LWF) at Paderborn University can look back on 50 successful years of research, teaching and technology transfer in 2026. On Friday, 8 May, the anniversary was celebrated at a festive event with over 300 representatives from politics, research and industry in the PaderHalle.
