Kick-off of Project A05: Launching the New Research Phase
On Tuesday, 10 February 2026, the kick-off meeting of Project A05 within the Collaborative Research Center TRR 318 “Constructing Explainability” took place. The project “Contextualized and online parametrization of scaffolding in human–robot explanatory dialog” is jointly conducted by Bielefeld University and Paderborn University.
Researchers from both sites met to coordinate the next steps and to develop initial conceptual ideas for the new funding phase.
In addition to planning the research activities, the meeting provided an opportunity for personal exchange and for strengthening the collaboration between the two partner universities.
Participants of the kick-off included Prof. Dr.-Ing. Britta Wrede and Sinem Görmez of Bielefeld University as well as Prof. Dr. Katharina Rohlfing and Amit Singh of Paderborn University. Together, they defined key objectives and milestones for the coming months.
The team looks forward to continuing this successful collaboration in the second funding phase.
The successful start of the project concluded with a joint dinner.
