HITS organizes scientific events throughout the year. Each month, HITS hosts its colloquium series. If you like to receive an invitation, please use this registration form: https://www.h-its.org/registration/
Our research groups offer scientific workshops. Additionally, HITS offers talks and events for the general public in Heidelberg and surroundings.
By Prof. Alexander Mäder, Hochschule der Medien, Crossmedia-Redaktion/Public Relations, Stuttgart In the old days, not long ago, journalists found out what happened and then reported it. But digitalization has changed this fundamentally. Not only is there less time to do the research but also other actors are weighing in with their own take of what’s […]
By Prof. Dr. Rainer Malaka, Technology Center Informatics and Information Technology (TZI), University of Bremen Digital Media are omnipresent and ubiquitous phenomena. The digital revolution has already transformed our lives and societies. This trend will continue and include more devices in our surrounding such as cars and household robots. In this new digital society, Human […]
By Prof. Dr. Peter Hunter, Auckland Bioengineering Institute, University of Auckland, New Zealand Computational physiological models deal with multiple physical processes (coupled tissue mechanics, electrical activity, fluid flow, etc) at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In many cases the goal is to understand integrative biological function in terms of underlying tissue structure and molecular mechanisms. […]
By Prof. Dr. Richard A. Bonneau, Professor of Biology and Computer Science; Director, NYU Center for Data Science, New York, USA Vladimir Gligorijevic, P Douglas Renfrew and Richard Bonneau. Due to limitations of existing experimental methods for determining protein functions and the high cost of experiments, the vast majority of proteins across many organisms remain […]
Die Wahrheit, so scheint es, hat es schwer heutzutage: Oxford Dictionaries erklärte "post-truth" zum internationalen Wort des Jahres 2016; Fake News verbreiten sich oft schneller, als sie entlarvt werden können; und der Relotius-Skandal offenbarte Schwachstellen beim Faktencheck im deutschen Journalismus. Auch in der Wissenschaft gibt es Probleme: Wissenschaftliche Studien, etwa zur Ernährung, widersprechen sich allzu […]
By Nicholas G. Reich, Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Massachusetts, School of Public Health and Health Sciences, Amherst, USA Seasonal influenza outbreaks cause substantial annual morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate forecasts of key features of influenza epidemics, such as the timing and severity of the peak incidence in a given season, can inform […]
"A New Science is Born: Astronomy in the Era of AI" - the pub talk by HITS researcher Antonio D'Isanto from the Astroinformatics (AIN) group. The event is held in O’Reilly’s Irish Pub on Brückenkopfstraße (just across the river from Bismarckplatz). Entrance is free! "Astronomy on Tap" is a series of monthly astronomy events […]
By Keith A. Crandall, PhD, Professor ob Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, Director - Computational Biology Institute, Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA Microbiome characterization has become an integral component to the study of a wide variety of disease and health for a diversity of organisms. Through the collection of […]
