The KIT Department of Informatics awards the following courses on the basis of the KIT teaching evaluation carried out every semester: “Energy Informatics I” as the best elective lecture in the winter semester 2020/2021 and winter semester 2019/2020 as well as “Exercise on Energy Informatics I” as the best elective exercise in the winter semester 2019/2020.

IAI welcomes six new female master's students this summer semester as part of the MINToring mentoring program. On June 23, 2022, the new mentees were invited to the institute as part of a welcome event, where a space for exchange and discourse was created for mentors and mentees. This way, everyone was able to collect a lot of new input for the upcoming time in MINToring.

The new Smart Energy System Lab has been launched. The participating students were welcomed to the Energy Lab 2.0 with a kick-off-event on June 27th. The laboratory internship is sponsored as an ExU activity within the University of Excel­lence Project "Research Infra­structures in Research-Oriented Teaching (RIRO)". During this laboratory internship Master's students will work on project topics from the field of energy systems.

In the beginning of February 2022 a team of AI-researchers from the Institute for Automation and applied Informatics (IAI) and the Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) as well as the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) conducted a three-day virtual hackathon. The goal of the hackathon was to develop energy efficient AI models, i.e. models that use as little electricity as possible during development, training and inference.

The IAI successfully completes the CE Interreg project CEUP 2030 at the end of April 2022. The project focused on promoting the joint networking of the research community with decision makers and Industry within the topics of advanced manufacturing and industry4.0. best-practice examples, flagship projects together with a number of strategy documents will support the involved triple-helix stakeholders in implementing current topics such as artificial intelligence or automation in their respective working environments.
