Meet the ELIZA Network
ELIZA consists of 14 Institutes, 7 Locations
ELIZA provides exciting opportunities for students and researchers in machine learning across seven German sites. With support from ELLIS fellows and industry partners, students tackle real-world challenges guided by top mentors.

ELIZA and ELLIS
ELIZA is one of Germany’s Zuse Schools of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence. We support students from the master’s level onward, linking them early on with top research groups and companies in AI. Focused on machine-learning-driven AI, ELIZA connects seven academic institutions in seven cities across Germany and builds on the strength of the European ELLIS network.
Diversity at ELIZA
At ELIZA, we support underrepresented students through scholarships and initiatives like the Female Student Travel Award. We value strong academic potential and diverse perspectives as key to excellence in AI. Our goal is to widen access to research careers without lowering the bar. We support students with strong academic track records and a clear drive to contribute to the field—because talent is everywhere, and opportunity should be, too.
