Integrated Data Management & IT Infrastructure

Research data is both the result and the central foundation of the Institute’s scientific work. Together with a high-performance IT infrastructure, it forms the basis for scientific discovery.

Given the growing volume of data, the increasing complexity of research processes, and rising demands on computing power, security, and availability, the “Integrated Data Management & IT Infrastructure” technology platform thus plays a central strategic role.

The platform ensures quality-assured research data management guided by the FAIR principles, as well as the secure and reliable operation of the IT infrastructure. In doing so, it creates the conditions for Good Research Practice, Open Science, and sustainable research. It enables the responsible and sustainable handling of research data, thereby strengthening transparency, reproducibility, and scientific excellence.

FAIR stands for Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability.
