CASUS is to become the center for digital interdisciplinary systems research in Germany
On 11.03.2020, Dr. Michael Bussmann from the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf will present the CASUS Center for Advanced Systems Understanding. Interested students and employees of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences are cordially invited to attend.
CASUS aims to create digital, dynamic "world pictures" of complex systems that combine large amounts of data about these systems with novel methods of modeling such systems in order to create a digital image of complex reality based on systems and their interactions and thus to be able to make predictions. The understanding and predictability of the development of complex systems will become increasingly important in the coming years, e.g. for a better understanding of the development of complex organisms, the long-term development of the Earth system and the development of new types of materials, and will therefore become increasingly important for research as well as for business and decision-makers.
The underlying assumption of CASUS is that in the future, this knowledge and understanding of the complexity and diversity of the world will undergo a disruptive change through the use of new digital methods from big data and large-scale simulations. Systems research will play a central role in this in order to conduct joint methodological research across scientific disciplines. CASUS aims to rethink the use of state-of-the-art technologies and methods. The aim is to make the best possible use of existing technologies, use innovative algorithms to decisively advance systems research and design these methods in such a way that they are available to the widest possible circle of scientists without the need for specialist knowledge.
An institute with this focus does not yet exist, which is why CASUS is to become an attractive place for leading international experts from the various disciplines of systems research and its applications, methodological research on modeling and data analysis as well as mathematics, who work together in interdisciplinary teams. CASUS aims to bring together the best minds for cutting-edge research in digital systems science in one place. Great importance is attached to innovative and unorthodox research approaches in order to overcome historically evolved structures of individual disciplines and promote interdisciplinary solutions. An essential part of the CASUS concept is an attractive international fellowship and workshop program for top international scientists.
