FAQs

Frequently asked questions and our answers

I.        "Is the DAS Institut acting like a commercial enterprise?"

No, our institute was declared non-profit in 2018, so we have no intention of making a profit. Our activities and projects serve exclusively the non-profit aspect of knowledge transfer and application development using information technologies for the benefit of our society.

II.        "How is the DAS Institut financed?"

The institute is financed exclusively through donations and grants from public research projects.

III.        "We foresee a project that might require collaboration with the DAS Institut . What should we do now?"

We look forward to every new challenge, no matter how technical, complex or challenging it is. Please talk to us first directly. We will then quickly discuss together the extent to which collaboration is possible and promising. Furthermore, we will quickly give you feedback if we come to the conclusion that we are not the ideal partner for this.

IV.        "How is the DAS Institut organized?"

The institute has permanent and freelance employees. In most cases the latter come from the university environment, be it that they are currently completing their final theses during their studies or are generally interested in innovative projects. In addition, we strengthen ourselves on a case-by-case basis through our extensive partner network.

V.        "Can I find a topic and supervision for my bachelor's or master's degree with the help of the DAS Institut, for example in connection with AI?"

In principle yes, but it also depends a little on the study and examination regulations of your faculty. We have countless theses (leading and supporting) supervised at German universities. What is important here too is the fit of the topic and the comparison with your and our expectations. Talk to us and experience has shown that we can very quickly discuss the options and if necessary clarify the next steps."
