and well-known on the international stage for delivering research
excellence with a global impact. The University of Würzburg is proud to be
the home of outstanding researchers and fourteen Nobel Prize Laureates.
Würzburg is a vibrant city in Bavaria, Germany’s economically strongest
state and home base to many international companies. We look forward to
welcoming you to the University of Würzburg!

*Computer Vision Laboratory*
<https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/computervision/> and University of
Würzburg in general are an exciting environment for research, for
independent thinking. Prof. Radu Timofte’s team is highly international,
with people from about 12 countries, and the members have already won
