The University Computer Centre participates in third-party funded research projects as a competent technology, implementation and research partner. Our research focuses on the challenges, opportunities and risks of digitalisation in working and living environments as well as in the context of research, teaching and transfer.
Our mission
As a pioneer of digitalisation, the University Computer Centre is actively involved in shaping the digital transformation with its own third-party-funded research department. The aim is to train and strengthen our digital competences in order to evaluate the opportunities and challenges of changing working and living environments together with technology and application partners and to develop innovative solutions. As an IT service provider and infrastructure provider, we are also strengthening our profile in the provision of digital research infrastructures in the areas of scientific computing and digital collections.
Research teams
In the area of digitalisation of working and living environments, we address the digital transformation from a work design perspective. One focus is on the challenges, opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence.
The area Digitisation Research Worlds aims at methods and techniques in the environment of scientific computing. One focus is the provision of efficient development and test environments.
In the area of Digital Collection Worlds, we test, develop and operate research infrastructures for the cataloguing, administration and web-based provision of university collections.
Head of: Jens Kupferschmidt
Mindset: The digitisation of the collection worlds includes the digital transformation of relevant collection data, which is made available to research in a structured way. The interdisciplinary research data becomes interoperable through presentation in standard formats from public libraries.
