Community

Talks, courses, workshops, and conferences are central to a thriving scientific community. Our current contributions:

• Workshop on Machine Learning in Clinical Neuroimaging (MLCN) at MICCAI: co-organized eight times since 2018.
• ECNP: Scientific Program Committee (2026), Abstract and Poster Committee (2026–2029), and the ECNP Network on AI in Mental Health.
• ELLIS Unit Jena: member of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems network.
• Digital Academy at Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
• German Center for Mental Health (DZPG): PI at the Jena site, contributing to the research and success of the DZPG.

Funded by the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, the Professorship for Artificial Intelligence in Neural Systems Imaging at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena connects research across the university and the University Hospital Jena, creating a joint environment for AI-driven neuroscience and clinical translation. Our group is embedded in the German Center for Mental Health (DZPG) at the Halle-Jena-Magdeburg site and contributes to a nationwide network for translational mental health research. We actively foster interdisciplinary connections across Jena’s research communities in machine learning, neuroscience, clinical research, cognitive science, psychology, and more. In this context, we are pleased to be affiliated with ELLIS to collaborate closely with researchers across Europe.

We are a part of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Tübingen, which is one of the locations of the German Center for Mental Health.
