Research

The amount of information and data generated by scientists is constantly growing. These data have to be managed, structured and aggregated, and new knowledge is generated by analyzing and interpreting them. Transparency, traceability and reproducibility as part of good scientific practice require new tools, processes and services. This raises completely new legal questions and places high demands on security and trustworthiness. Collaboration beyond the boundaries of institutions and disciplines, in virtual research environments, is gaining in importance. And education also takes place in virtual spaces, independent of time and place.

For FIZ Karlsruhe as a Leibniz institute for information infrastructure, these challenges have great potential for the future: We research into these issues in order to further develop our products and services according to our customers’ needs and to promote the state of the art. This enables us to fulfil our main task, i.e., to provide researchers and scientists with information and the related services, at a high level.
