"Being a joint lab": living cooperation, utilizing synergies

Six months after the official  kick-off event, the participants in the Joint Lab AI & DS came together for a retreat at the  Coppenrath Innovation Center in Osnabrück on April 29 and 30, 2024.

Under the motto "Being a joint lab, how can we benefit most from it? For all of us: the doctorate, the collaboration, and best scientific results", the participants used the two days to reflect intensively on the collaboration, exchange ideas and plan new activities. The framework for this exchange was provided by the Open Space Conference method, which gives the necessary freedom for creative thought processes. Away from the program, the retreat also offered plenty of opportunity for informal discussions during the breaks.

The  doctoral students and their supervisors would like to make the most of the opportunity and live out the cooperation at all levels with regard to the individual  projects, but also with regard to the Joint Lab as an overall project. The aim is to identify and utilize further synergies between the cooperation partners.

The next retreat will take place in the fall at the ATB in Potsdam.
