The mission of the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy is to train the next generation of data scientists for the world of tomorrow. To achieve this, we work together with partners from science and industry.
Partner for an international network
Our vision is to make the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA) the hub of data science education and training in Germany. As part of a global network, it will contribute to solving major challenges for society, science and industry. Together with our Helmholtz Information & Data Science Schools and excellent German university partners, we would like to invite international partners from science and industry to join us on this journey.

Humboldt-Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft
Humboldt-Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft
The increasing automation of infrastructures is accompanied by profound changes in the political, social and cultural context. The AI & Society Lab at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) explores how this development can be made more inclusive, sustainable and compliant with human rights. As an interface and translator between academia, industry, and civil society, the lab's goal is to promote innovative research, interdisciplinary exchange, and knowledge transfer on artificial intelligence (AI).
HIIG was founded in 2011 to conduct research on the development of the internet from a societal perspective and to better understand the digitalization of all areas of life. As the first institute in Germany to focus on the internet and society, HIIG has developed an understanding that focuses on the deep interconnectedness of digital innovations and societal processes.

Academy for Theater and Digitality
Academy for Theater and Digitality
The Academy for Theater and Digitality is a model project of Theater Dortmund for digital innovation, artistic research and technology-oriented education and training. It is supported by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the German Federal Cultural Foundation and the WILO Foundation and receives funding from the ERDF fund of the European Union. It cooperates with the DTHG, the German Stage Association and, in the future, with other municipal and regional partners.
The academy's location in Speicherstraße will offer nearly 2,000 square meters of space for applied and artistic research, professional training and further education, and for discussion. Here, possibilities for the performing arts in the Digital Modern Age will be explored and new technologies, new work structures, new narratives and new definitions of what it means to be an artist today at the intersection of performing arts and the latest technologies will be developed.
The ACADEMY FOR THEATRE AND DIGITALITY is a place of innovation, inspiration, discourse, exchange, a place with courage for the new and also for failure, for reflection, networking, giving impulses and communication - a place of art!
