Our knowledge thrives on data: Through the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Framework, we connect experts, supercomputers, algorithms, data resources, and services. HIDA is one of the initiatives of this structure.
The overarching Helmholtz Information & Data Science Framework drives innovation by bringing together subject-matter experts with specialists in artificial intelligence, imaging techniques, data management, and advanced computing infrastructures from all 18 Helmholtz Centers.
It creates unique spaces for interdisciplinary collaboration, provides modern research and support structures, tools, and services for data-driven research, and trains a new generation of data scientists who will shape the future.
The framework supports Helmholtz researchers and centers, as well as their national and international partners, in developing and implementing groundbreaking ideas, responding to emerging trends, and initiating new projects.
Helmholtz Imaging
Helmholtz Imaging
Helmholtz Imaging: Capturing the World of Science
Imaging technologies and intelligent image analysis are key drivers of discovery across modern science. Helmholtz Imaging is the central platform for imaging within the Helmholtz Association, positioning Helmholtz as a leader providing, developing, applying, and advancing cutting-edge imaging technologies.
The platform offers access to state-of-the-art imaging resources, funding, and expert consulting – empowering researchers to extract insights from complex image data, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and unlock the full potential of Helmholtz’s imaging capabilities.
Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration
HMC - Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration
The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) serves as the strategic backbone for metadata within the Helmholtz Association. It advances coherent standards, sustainable infrastructures, and shared practices to ensure that research data is described, contextualized, and structured in a consistent way across disciplines and centers.
By strengthening high-quality metadata, HMC lays the foundation for research data to become findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). Through its Metadata Hubs, FAIR-enabling tools and components, the HMC Helpdesk, training programs, and annual project calls, HMC connects expertise across domains and builds a FAIR data space.
In this way, HMC unlocks the full potential of today’s research data – for the innovations and solutions of tomorrow.
HIFIS
HIFIS - Helmholtz Federated IT Systems
Helmholtz Digital Services for Science – Collaboration Made Easy
The vision of HIFIS is to empower scientists with digital services at every step of the scientific workflow. HIFIS fosters collaboration and facilitates integrated scientific workflows across all research fields, Helmholtz centres, external collaboration partners as well as the framework platforms by offering a unified login, shared cloud services, organizing common education and training events, and adopting a de-central and modular approach.
This stimulates innovation and knowledge exchange among the research centres.
Helmholtz AI
Helmholtz AI
Helmholtz AI is an application-driven artificial intelligence platform accelerating science across the Helmholtz Association. They enable the development and implementation of AI solutions while promoting collaboration and ensuring access to resources and expertise. They do this by offering dedicated AI consultancy services, computing resources, and project funding.
