Heidelberg University introduced the new class of fellows for the 2025/2026 academic year at the Marsilius Kolleg. Among the selected researchers is Cluster Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Christine Selhuber-Unkel, who will contribute her expertise to the program’s interdisciplinary approach. Directed by Prof. Dr. Friederike Nüssel and Cluster Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Michael Boutros, the Marsilius Kolleg serves as Heidelberg’s Institute for Advanced Study. The institute fosters collaboration between the natural, life, and engineering sciences, as well as the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences. During the fellowship year, the new class will explore questions such as how humans acquire and apply knowledge and how these processes can be modeled in AI language models. Another project will focus on interdisciplinary collaboration in researching traditional crops that could support sustainable food systems.
