The research institute RIVK specializes in holistic solutions to gain knowledge from data.
Data and information form the basis for the engineering of tomorrow and for modern value creation. In order to lay the foundation for this, interdisciplinary research is elementary - starting with the necessary domain knowledge regarding data acquisition, through the transfer and fusion of the data, to the processing of the information gained from it into knowledge and action. In all these steps, the reliability of the data sources, the human-in-the-loop, and the processing algorithms must be taken into account.
