The AI Lab Rhein-Neckar was launched with a virtual kick-off on 16.06.2020.

The Rhine-Neckar AI Lab is a partner­ship between the Rhine-Neckar Regional Association and the Chair for Statistics and Methodoloy, Prof. Kreuter, and the Chair for Artificial Intelligence, Prof. Stuckenschmidt at the University of Mannheim. The project is funded by the „Initiative Wirtschaft 4.0“ of the Ministry of Economics, Labour and Housing (Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Wohnungs­bau) of Baden-Württemberg as part of the digitization strategy of the state of Baden-Württemberg: digital@bw.
