Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems, Research institute in Sankt Augustin, Germany
The Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems is a research facility focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large-scale data technologies. The organization operates across multiple locations and employs around 380 specialists who develop practical applications and provide consulting services for digital transformation.
The institute was established in 2006 through the merger of two earlier research facilities, the Institute for Autonomous Intelligent Systems and the Institute for Media Communication. This consolidation created the foundation for the broad range of research programs that operate today.
The institute collaborates closely with the University of Bonn and contributes to research networks that advance technological progress. Visitors can observe the importance of these partnerships through the projects and initiatives developed here.
Visitors should inquire in advance about tours and access to the research facilities, as not all areas are publicly accessible. The location in Sankt Augustin provides convenient access and adequate parking is available on site.
The institute leads the OpenGPT-X project, which develops European language models while coordinating expertise from 30 different Fraunhofer institutes. This network demonstrates how local research contributes to larger European initiatives.
