ICAPS · Best Demo Award
Erol Medenčević
His tool PANSim was honored with the Best System’s Demonstration Award at the prestigious automated planning conference ICAPS 2026.
What We Offer
We actively collaborate with motivated students and involve them in our industrial and fundamental research projects. Many of our projects are carried out in close cooperation with leading companies, giving students the opportunity to work on real-world challenges and cutting-edge technologies.
We offer paid positions, with compensation based on experience and the agreed workload. This cooperation can be seamlessly combined with a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD thesis, allowing students to gain practical experience while advancing their academic work.
Our students regularly achieve excellent results in final examinations and often receive prestigious awards for their research achievements. If you are eager to grow your skills and work on meaningful projects, we would be happy to collaborate with you.
Below you can find the currently listed topics for collaboration. Of course, you can contact anyone from our department (see the People section) to discuss the possibilities of collaboration directly with them.
