The RPTU Uni\u00adver\u00adsity Kai\u00adsers\u00adlau\u00adtern-Landau has awarded Werner Weiss, founder and managing director of Insiders, the academic title of \u201cHonorary Doctor of Engi\u00adnee\u00adring.\u201d With this rarely awarded honor, the uni\u00adver\u00adsity reco\u00adgnizes excep\u00adtional achie\u00adve\u00adments in the field of engineering\u2014and a per\u00adso\u00adna\u00adlity who has been shaping the bridge between research and industry for decades.<\/p>\n

Werner Weiss is con\u00adsidered a pioneer in applied arti\u00adfi\u00adcial intel\u00adli\u00adgence and a bridge builder between cutting-edge uni\u00adver\u00adsity research and entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial inno\u00adva\u00adtion. His work has con\u00adtri\u00adbuted signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly to estab\u00adli\u00adshing Kai\u00adsers\u00adlau\u00adtern as an inter\u00adna\u00adtional hub for AI and digi\u00adta\u00adliza\u00adtion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Professor Peter Lig\u00adges\u00admeyer, Chairman of the Honorary Doctorate Com\u00admis\u00adsion, empha\u00adsizes:
\u201cWith his entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial vision and con\u00adti\u00adnuous com\u00admit\u00adment, Werner Weiss has not only set new standards for the appli\u00adca\u00adtion of AI, but has also con\u00adtri\u00adbuted signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly to the appeal of our location.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The award is also a sign of the suc\u00adcessful com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion of science and entre\u00adpre\u00adneur\u00adship. Emerging from research at DFKI, Insiders now employs over 200 people and serves more than 6,000 customers worldwide. The company is con\u00adsidered an inter\u00adna\u00adtional inno\u00adva\u00adtion leader in AI-based process auto\u00adma\u00adtion \u2013 and proof of the lasting impact of tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and knowledge transfer from Kai\u00adsers\u00adlau\u00adtern.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Werner Weiss himself sees the award primarily as a tribute to this con\u00adnec\u00adtion:
\u201eThis award fills me with great gratitude\u2014also because it reco\u00adgnizes the close con\u00adnec\u00adtion between science and entre\u00adpre\u00adneur\u00adship that has accom\u00adpa\u00adnied me since my begin\u00adnings in Kai\u00adsers\u00adlau\u00adtern. Research and practice are mutually beneficial\u2014and it is precisely this inter\u00adac\u00adtion that is the key to sus\u00adtainable inno\u00adva\u00adtion and com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adti\u00adve\u00adness.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Professor Christoph Garth, Dean of the Depart\u00adment of Computer Science, adds:
\u201cMr. Weiss has had close ties to RPTU since his studies. He studied indus\u00adtrial engi\u00adnee\u00adring here, worked at DFKI, and founded Insiders during this time. To this day, he maintains contact with the uni\u00adver\u00adsity, supports students, and col\u00adla\u00adbo\u00adrates with pro\u00adfes\u00adsors on projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With this honorary doctorate, the RPTU is not only reco\u00adgni\u00adzing the achie\u00adve\u00adments of an entre\u00adpre\u00adneur, but also the principle that has made Kai\u00adsers\u00adlau\u00adtern strong: inno\u00adva\u00adtion arises where research and practice drive each other forward.<\/p>\n
