The doctoral programme “AI in Public Health”
The Doctoral programme “AI in Public Health” which is unique to the ZKI-PH provides a structured, 3-year framework which supports doctoral students in gaining theoretical knowledge and practical experience in conducting interdisciplinary research at the interface of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Public Health. The comprehensive curriculum combines theoretical and practical training in a range of AI-related techniques with in depth insights on Public Health providing an innovative interdisciplinary umbrella structure. The main aim of this doctoral programme is to prepare young scientists for a future scientific career in the field of AI-supported Public Health-applications.
