We are KIWIT
The minds behind KIWIT – as diverse as they are curious

 

  • Established scientists and staff in the qualification phase

  • A good mix of professional diversity, age groups, and experience levels.

  • Collaborative learning is the focus – from different perspectives.

Artificial intelligence cannot replace the intensive human factor in research projects. And that's a good thing – after all, "natural" brains accomplish remarkable things in the thinking and cognition process. They endow people with a unique capacity for intellect, creativity, and problem-solving. In interdisciplinary projects, in addition to specialist and methodological knowledge, social and communicative skills and a pronounced cognitive openness to cross-disciplinary work are particularly important. The KIWIT research group brings together around 20 people from diverse backgrounds. They are united by their curiosity about a fascinating topic in our society: the imitation of cognitive and learning-adaptive structures and their consequences for social interaction in scientific work processes.
