The rules for cybersecurity in the EU are becoming increasingly complex. The newly launched project "Cybersecurity Certification and Assessment Tools" (CCAT), in which the SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn, which is part of Paderborn University, is involved, is responding to this.

Paderborn Universities and Bochum cooperate with the German Informatics Society

A computer that can calculate hundreds of scientific tasks simultaneously and thus helps provide a solution to key social challenges: this is the new IT heart of Paderborn University.

As part of the "ZirkuPro" ("Circular Product Creation" – German: Zirkuläre Produktentstehung) research project, scientists from Paderborn University and the Fraunhofer Institutes IEM (Paderborn) and IZM (Berlin) have developed a practical solution that enables greater sustainability in product creation.

Millions in funding for new research project under Paderborn management

Many people are often exposed to risks in the digital space without realising it - sometimes with serious consequences. This is where doctoral candidate Anna Lena Rotthaler's research comes in: As part of her doctorate at the Chair of Empirical Software Engineering at Paderborn University, the computer scientist has developed the "Security App".

Among other things, the experts have developed tools that can recognise and remove vulnerabilities even with previously insufficient information. The three-year project was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with almost 500,000 euros.

Millions in EU funding for secure software systems

The CIRPROM research project ("Algorithmic foundations for circuit-based programmable matter"), led by Prof Dr Scheideler, is being funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with around 350,000 euros until 2027.
