Extend your skills and competences by finding the right learning path for your needs in this extensive course portfolio! The platforms of the Information & Data Science Framework have developed a coordinated course offer that covers a wide array of topics.
The five Helmholtz Information & Data Science Platforms - Helmholtz AI, Helmholtz Imaging, HIDA, HIFIS, HMC - offer a comprehensive portfolio of courses, covering topics from introductory programming to advanced statistical modeling and AI techniques.
What makes our training portfolio unique is the applied approach that is predominant in all our courses. Practical applications and case studies are designed to prepare you to succeed in your research or project.
Discover our diverse clusters for data scientists
The courses are structured into six thematic clusters, reflecting key areas of Information and Data Science. They provide orientation within a diverse training portfolio and support the targeted development of relevant competencies.
Courses can be selected and combined flexibly according to individual interests and needs as well as prior knowledge. Courses that do not require prior knowledge are specifically highlighted, offering an accessible entry point into the field.
