Artificial Intelligence accelerates the transformation triggered by computer science across all scientific disciplines. The results of computer science are changing technological framework conditions and the way in which research is conducted. eScience describes a vision of future scientific work and the medium- to long-term development of scientific practice towards this vision. Through this work, the eScience Centre contributes to the digital sovereignty and innovative capacity of GFZ in Earth system research in Germany.
The eScience Centre drives the digital transformation in the geosciences. To this end, it employs modern and future-oriented information technologies. It offers and provides various services for the scientific sections of GFZ, as well as other Helmholtz Centres and scientific organisations.
The eScience Centre is involved in the strategic and organisational development in the areas of research data infrastructures, research software engineering, and digital twins. This takes place at GFZ, within the Helmholtz Association, and in national as well as international initiatives.
