Come2Data

Title: Competence Center for Interdisciplinary Data Sciences

Project duration: 15.11.2023 – 14.11.2026

Research Area: Data Quality

As a data competence center (DKZ), Come2Data pursues a Saxon regional approach to imparting practice-oriented data competencies to science, but also to the areas of administration, society and, in the long term, to the economy. In doing so, it bundles existing data science training and support services as well as expertise in research data management, NFDI, high-performance computing and analysis methods for data-intensive interdisciplinary research applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data modelling. Here, the diverse activities existing in Saxony are consolidated and merged into a sustainable offering. The basis is a comprehensive training and support offer in the fields of data integration, management, analysis, and publication.

Aims

Come2Data creates an open research, support, networking and learning venue across Saxon locations to provide the training, support and knowledge offer to researchers, teachers, and learners as well as to the public via a central virtual platform. A sustainable support site is created, which will provide support by a knowledge base and the mediation of experts. In addition, Come2Data creates a space in which solutions for real data and teaching problems are provided and made available in a didactically processed form.

Technology

Leipzig University, as a partner in the project, will focus on knowledge and teaching offers for data competencies. It will participate in the development of the technical infrastructure of the DKZ and will establish and expand the necessary target group and expert networks as well as the scientific communication of the DKZ. Furthermore, real data and teaching issues will be worked on within the framework of pilot projects based in Leipzig, and the resulting findings will be continuously incorporated into the knowledge and teaching offerings of Come2Data.
