In Würzburg soll mittelfristig ein neues Max-Planck-Institut entstehen und zwei Abteilungen der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG) angesiedelt werden. Dazu haben der Freistaat Bayern und die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft heute (21. Oktober 2025) eine wichtige Grundlage geschaffen und ein entsprechendes „Memorandum of Understanding“ in München unterzeichnet. Aktuell wird für das geplante Institut ein wissenschaftliches Konzept durch die MPG erarbeitet. In diesem Max-Planck-internen Beratungsprozess werden Zukunftsthemen rund um die Immunmedizin und Nukleinsäure-Technologien in den Blick genommen.

What happens when rural Colombian girls know more about AI companions than digital literacy educators do?

I was recently in rural Colombia running our “Click” program at beBold, an organization I co-founded to equip people with tools to be bold in a changing and noisy world. Our Click program seeks to develop critical socioemotional, digital and life design skills in youth, particularly girls and young women, helping them become bold digital citizens who can navigate technology responsibly while strengthening their in-person human relationships.

KKUkraine’s turbulent history, with its recurring Russian interventions, is also reflected in its language. Ukrainian linguist Olena Synchak is investigating how this is expressed in the use of feminine terms. She is supported by means of a highly competitive MSCA4Ukraine Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by the European Commission. In our interview, she talks about the changes in her language – and how these are also reflected in touching stories told by Ukrainian women.

Regular students of the University of Klagenfurt (including doctoral candidates) have the opportunity to apply for a need-based scholarship for academic theses up until and including October 24, 2025.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has exploded in the public consciousness in the past few years and Caribbean governments, like many others around the world, are grappling with how to best exploit this groundbreaking technology for the good of the region and its people. AI’s potential should not be overstated, but with projected impacts on the economy, development, and everyday life, the technology is slated to radically reshape how we interact with the world around us, and with these new realities come new threats.

As an agile approach and tool, sandboxes enable new technologies to be tested in controlled environments before releasing to the broader market, serving as vital tools for fostering innovation while managing associated risks. While sandboxes are gaining increasing attention globally, their application and impact in Asia remain understudied, despite the region’s significant role in global digital governance and technological advancement. 

Tonight’s attack on Italian investigative journalist Sigfrido Ranucci, whose car was destroyed by an explosive device, is a stark reminder of the growing threats faced by journalists – even in Western Europe. Ranucci, who hosts RAI’s investigative programme Report and is a long-time exposer of corruption and organised crime, has previously received many threats because of his work. That the attack occurred on the anniversary of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder adds a chilling dimension, reminding us of the persistent dangers that investigative journalists face in Europe.
