Together. Digital. Effective.

The Digital Office (DO) shapes the digitization of science at the HZI, from publication processes to high-performance computing environments. We focus on research, while also coordinating a holistic digital strategy across all professional groups.

The focus is always on lean, secure and scalable digital solutions.

We work closely with the Governance & Organizational Development (GO) department, which is responsible for digitalization in administration, and the Computing Centre (RZ), which ensures smooth operational running.

We develop the infrastructure strategy (including AI and GPU resources) together with the Computer Centre. Our aim is to make AI available to our researchers and colleagues in administration in a responsible and effective manner.

Our areas of expertise:

  • Research data management
  • Research software & research support information systems
  • Scientific computing & infrastructure
  • Training and continuing education for researchers
  • Library services

We look forward to the journey together – towards lean, secure and scalable digital solutions.
