ScaDS.AI (Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence) Dresden/Leipzig is a competence center for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, and Big Data with locations in Dresden and Leipzig. It is one of the five new AI centers in Germany funded under the federal government’s AI strategy. In addition to the funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), ScaDS.AI is also financed by the Free State of Saxony. It is established as a permanent research facility at both locations with strong connections to the local universities: the TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a CIDS department, and the Leipzig University.

Our team consists of more than 180 people, including renowned international researchers as well as highly skilled professionals in administrative and communicative roles. With more than 60 principal investigators, two Humboldt Professorships and up to twelve planned AI Professorships we support excellence in research and teaching in Dresden and Leipzig. Promoting young talent is also an important part of our work, therefore we have established four Junior Research Groups that meaningfully complement our current research topics.
