The Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) in Hamburg will have a new director from March 2025: Prof. Dr. Judith M\u00f6ller. This was decided by the Institute&#8217;s Board of Trustees on 20 January 2025.

I look forward to pursuing forward-looking approaches in research and transfer together with all \u2018Bredows\u2019 in order to gain an even better understanding of the role of media in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Research in the Field of Automation and Artificial Intelligence to be Further Expanded<\/h2>\n<p>The Institute, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary in June 2025, plans to expand its research in automation and artificial intelligence in the coming years and to contribute to the understanding of socio-technical systems from a computer science perspective. This includes topics such as social media platforms, bots, search engines and recommendation systems, as well as the underlying technologies and architectures. The institute will receive an additional 10.3 million euros for this &#8220;strategic expansion project&#8221; between 2026 and 2029. In addition, the institute&#8217;s core budget will be permanently increased by \u20ac3.3 million from 2030.
