The University of Vienna is focusing on the long-term strategic implementation of digital innovations in many areas. In the Digitalisation strategy the area of research is cited as one of the important areas for digital solutions:
„Researchers need a research infrastructure that provides professional services and support throughout their projects, ranging from the idea and research proposal, the implementation and organisation to the dissemination and application of research results. This also includes the handling of research data, ranging from the planning phase and data collection, analysis and interpretation to publication, storage and archiving.“
From this awareness for comprehensive digital support in research and the specific needs of researchers with regard to IT, some concrete questions can be derived:
- How could such a research infrastructure look like and be used?
- What IT services are already available at the University of Vienna, respectively which tools will be offered or developed for the future?
- How can IT services be used in the different research disciplines and fields?
- How can IT solutions be adapted to individual needs?
To provide answers to these and further questions and to create a space for exchange, the IT for Sciene Forum was developed.
The IT for Science Forum event series wants to be a platform to present researchers with current IT solutions and trend-setting developments and projects in the field of IT and for researchers to share their experiences with IT that can support them in their research work. These include, for example:
- scientific software applications,
- scientific IT platforms,
- high-performance computing projects,
- research data management, etc.
Service managers of the ZID and guest speakers will present services and their possible application using concrete projects as examples.
Upcoming event
