This page summarizes the various activities of GEOMAR in the context of digitalization in research.
As shown in the graphic above, digital science subsumes a wide variety of areas that are driving the digitization of research.
Since the needs and developments in the individual subdisciplines as well as in the central computing and data infrastructures are developing in parallel, GEOMAR is establishing structures that allow a collaborative and holistic perspective on the individual strands of a Digital Science.

HGF Incubator Platforms
Research today is data-based research. For Germany as a science location, it is essential to bundle competencies in this field and to completely redefine information-based research. For this reason, the Helmholtz Association has created the Helmholtz Incubator.
In 2016, Helmholtz established the Helmholtz Incubator Information & Data Science to bring together and strengthen the outstanding competencies and enormous data resources of the Association. With the Helmholtz Incubator, Helmholtz aims to bring together experts from the entire community on a regular basis in order to create the fundamentals for innovative, interdisciplinary networks and approaches as well as to identify future-oriented topics and disruptive pilot projects.
In addition, five topics, so-called "platforms" of particular strategic importance for the entire Helmholtz Association, were named:
