Hei­del­berg scientists will develop novel computing technologies at the Eu­ro­pean Institute for Neuromorphic Computing (EINC)

The new EINC building at Hei­del­berg Uni­ver­si­ty – an experimental hub for pioneering re­search on new computing technologies – is about to be officially inaugurated. The ceremony on 23 November 2022 will be hosted by the Mannheim and Hei­del­berg office of the state assets and construction company Vermögen und Bau Baden-Württemberg. Attending the event will be the state's Minister of Science and the Finance Minister, along with representatives of three donors who have secured the implementation of this innovative project with their financial support. The EINC will provide re­search and work areas for scientists from the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, the STRUC­TURES Cluster of Excellence and the new Faculty of Engineering Sciences, who are engaged in developing and establishing novel computer technologies and designs based on fundamental principles of physics. In cooperation between various disciplines, new hardware models are emerging with different technology platforms relying on high-end analogue electronics, modern integrated optics and highly controlled quan­tum systems.
