The Collaboration
Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS)
The Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) is a private-public institution for basic theoretical research in various areas of science focusing on interdisciplinary research. It is located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, at its own home at the Frankfurt-Riedberg campus of the Goethe University. It was founded in 2003.
FIAS brings together theorists from the disciplines of biology, chemistry, neuroscience, physics, mathematics and computer science in a common organizational and intellectual framework. It is an ambitious independent scientific institution while at the same time bundling research activities at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main and neighboring research centers.
Xidian University
Xidian University is a public research university in Xi'An, China. Founded in 1931, the University is considered one of the top universities in research and education for engineering in China.
Xidian University is dedicated primarily to electronics, information education and research, with the integration of a wide range of academic subjects covering engineering, science, management, economy, arts and social sciences. Xidian University has been able to build up a formidable reputation in Artificial Intelligence, and has successfully established a School of Artificial Intelligence in 2014.
The Xidian-Fias-International Joint Research Center
The newly founded center promotes world leading international scientific research on scientific issues such as computer science, artificial intelligence, and theoretical life sciences. The structure of the Xidian-FIAS International Joint Research Center fosters international scientific exchange, supports young talents in the fields of theoretical fundamental and technology research, brings together international academic teams and promotes technological innovation and high-tech industry cooperation. The Xidian-FIAS International Joint Research Center operates under the principle of equality, mutual benefit and long-term commitment of the two institutions.
