H-BRS is one of 20 higher education institutions receiving funding under the “Academic Horizons – Attracting Global Minds” programme run by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). This programme is part of the 1000-Köpfe-Plus initiative and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). The university has secured around €750,000 for the project “TALENT – Talent Attraction and Lifelong Empowerment for New Technologies” (May 2026 - end of 2029), which is being implemented by the Department of Computer Science, the Graduate School and the International Office.

The aim of the project is to attract top international talents in the field of artificial intelligence to study or pursue a PhD in Germany and at H-BRS, and to integrate them into academia and the labour market in the long term. The focus is on establishing a structured ‘Talent Track Practice Pipeline’ through which qualified Master’s students and PhD candidates are specifically recruited, supported and prepared for their future careers.

Through cooperation between the Department of Computer Science, the Graduate Institute and the International Office, measures for international recruitment, professional qualification and social integration are interlinked. In addition, mentoring programmes, intercultural initiatives and partnerships with companies contribute to the sustainable networking of participants.

With “TALENT”, H-BRS is strengthening its international focus in the future-oriented field of artificial intelligence, whilst also contributing to securing a skilled workforce and promoting the next generation of international researchers in Germany.
