Research and Study at the University of Excellence Bonn

At the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Excellence Bonn, cutting-edge research meets excellent teaching.

Our internationally visible research addresses fundamental challenges in Cyber Security, Theoretical Computer Science, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Robotics. Our students and researchers benefit from state-of-the-art facilities such as High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, robotics labs and a Visual Computing Incubator.
About our research

As a department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Computer Science in Bonn can look back on a long history that began in 1969 with the founding of the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. As one of the pioneering institutes for Computer Science in Germany, we have a well established track record in teaching. Every year, over 1500 bright minds study at our faculty. Around 800 are enrolled in the bachelor's degree course in alone — one of the most popular degree programs in Germany with outstanding career prospects in almost all sectors.→ About the study program

News Reports from the Institute
WestAI research project enables easy access to Artificial Intelligence

SMEs and research institutions have increasing need for expertise and computing capacity for their AI research. Prominent academic institutions of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, led by the Institute for Computer Science at the University of Bonn, have jointly formed the AI service center WestAI to provide AI services and proprietary AI research in support of business and research. The state-of-the-art computing infrastructures of RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich are utilized for the services. As of now, interested outside parties can request computing time for AI projects via the WestAI website. At present the services are provided free of charge thanks to funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Digital "Red Cross Emblem" to Protect Against Attacks

Humanitarian protection and support for victims of war and armed violence — that is the aim of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The symbol of the Red Cross is intended to protect aid workers from attacks during their missions. Can this symbol also be used in the digital world? Our international team is researching the protection for online resources.
