After the welcome by Prof. Dr. Uta Wilkens, Prof. Dr. Günther Meschke, Prorector for Research and Transfer, opened the spring reception at the O-Werk on the technology and start-up campus of the city of Bochum, Mark 51°. Numerous guests from industry, the health industry, the start-up scene, politics and administration came and became feedback partners and multipliers.

With a video message from State Secretary Dr. h.c. Thomas Sattelberger (BMBF), the importance of the HUMAINE project was put into perspective.

Guests at the O-Werk were able to inform themselves, exchange ideas and actively participate in interesting pilot projects and a wide range of topics related to human-centred work with AI.

The Centre of Cooperation RUB/IGM presented its concept on the procedural model for the introduction of AI from the perspective of workplace co-determination at the spring reception.

The resulting concrete approaches to thinking and designing, in which one can participate, were then presented in conclusion by Prof. Dr. Laurenz Wiskott.
