Hippe Symposium | Paderborn University

Unvealing the power of extreme data for product creation

For the first time, the symposium on hybrid intelligence in product and production engineering will take place in Paderborn from March 25-26, 2026. During the two-day symposium, the scientific discourse will be guided by the question of how not only hybrid decision support, but hybrid intelligence in general can be used to increase performance in product creation. Both approaches from the engineering sciences and approaches from computer science that are used in the context of product creation are welcome. Potentials and possible limitations will be discussed together in order to create groundbreaking findings for the further development of the research field.
