In December 2019, the Free State of Bavaria has initiated a competition amongst the Bavarian universities to establish 50 new professorships focusing on various aspects of artificial intelligence research. On May 15th, 2020 the final decision was made. From the 175 applications, 50 professorships were selected by an expert board, including two applications from the Medical Faculty of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, one of them (Medical Data Science) being closely related to biomedical informatics research in the field of artificial intelligence. This will further strengthen the research competences of Erlangen within the MIRACUM consortium.
