On Wednesday 6 July 2020, State Secretary Stefan Tidow handed over funding decisions to eight AI projects at an official BMUV event. One of these so-called AI lighthouses is the WindGISKI project, in which our Organisation & Innovation working group headed by Prof. Dr. Jannika Mattes is involved. The aim of the project is to develop and evaluate an AI-based geoinformation system that can be used to more precisely identify potential areas for wind energy. The project was emphasised by Stefan Tidow, State Secretary at the BMUV, primarily due to its topicality. At the subsequent get-together in the BMUV-Nordhof, Dr Kirsten Kappert-Gonther (Member of the German Bundestag) also emphasised the opportunities associated with an interdisciplinary research team such as that of WindGISKI. The working group at the University of Oldenburg brings a social science perspective to the project and was represented at the meeting by doctoral student Tamara Schnell (in the centre of the photo).
