New Innovation-Based Evaluation Metrics in the Industry 4.0 Environment – Report on the Evalitech Project

In the Evalitech project, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML) examined how artificial intelligence can help optimise the process of filling leadership positions (university chairs and heads of institute). The existing metrics for science and engineering and especially for Industry 4.0 were adapted and expanded. These results have been written up in a report published by the Research Council of Plattform Industrie 4.0 and acatech – National Academy of Science and Engineering.
