FZI Live
EFFEKTE Festival
City of Science, Science Pub event, highlight stage program
We are delighted to be part of the EFFEKTE Festival! The FZI is represented in the Wissenschaftsstadt (Science City), participates in the format Wissensdurst (Thirst for Knowledge), and brings an exciting program to the stage. The event offers an excellent opportunity for us to talk to interested people and bring our research to life in various formats. The exchange and enthusiasm for science are our focus. We are looking forward to many exciting encounters!
Our research highlights up close:
Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 18, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Science City: From the lab to the street: We are researching the technologies of tomorrow
Experience how we bring FZI research for tomorrow’s mobility from the lab to the road in the City of Science. Join our FZI researchers in discovering CoCar NextGen: equipped with various high-end sensors, high-performance hardware, and modern networking components, this vehicle was built entirely by the FZI. This innovative research platform for automated driving will give you insights into sensor technology and show you how the intelligent collection of data for automated driving can be part of the mobility of the future.
In the second project in the Knowledge City, data, ‘the gold of the 21st century,’ plays an invaluable role: Learn about use cases such as anonymization techniques that optimally combine data protection and data value.
