HF1 – Goal 1: JLU establishes an interdepartmental Center for Applied Computer and Data Science.

By establishing a Center for Applied Computer and Data Science, JLU is laying the necessary groundwork for forward-looking, interdisciplinary research with a focus on computer science. The center consolidates the diverse, specialized computer science expertise available from various research branches and strengthens both exchange and collaboration among researchers. In addition to the expertise already available, the center will become the home institution for new researchers at JLU. By establishing five new chairs, JLU is creating new parameters for innovative ongoing developments in its focus, potential, and accent areas.

 

Service Center Coordination, Administration, Technical/Scientific support. Specialty fields: Humanities, Cultural and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Life Sciences. Basis: Sustainability and Digital Transformation; Research Data Management, Algorithms & Data Structures & Databases, Computer Services and Tools, Analysis Workflows, IT-Based Knowledge Management; Research-Oriented IT Infrastructures (HPC, BCF, Cloud Resources).

The transfer of established and innovative information technologies (IT) to areas outside of IT promotes digital transformation in research and strategically expands methodological competencies. By offering relevant courses, JLU creates a strong core of young scientists and academics in the long term, who in turn help meet the increasing demand for qualified specialists.
