ZML Newsletter, Issue 02/2026

AI is advancing rapidly and constantly opening up new opportunities for universities: from assistance with everyday tasks to AI agents that can independently take over workflows. At the same time, new questions are arising—such as those regarding legal frameworks, effective communication with AI, and the development of relevant skills. In this issue, we highlight current developments, programs, and initiatives that address these topics. We also invite you to participate in the second AI Challenge, provide insights into the work of media:impact, and report on other upcoming courses.

Last week, the training camp for the Earth Science Olympiad took place at KIT. The 10 top students from the German Earth Science Olympiad prepared intensively for the event here. In collaboration with the German Earth Sciences Association, theory and practice were combined: from lab and fieldwork to seismology and scientific discussions in English. We wish all participants the best of luck and are already rooting for the German delegation at the 2026 International Earth Science Olympiad!
