Organization and Contact
The Digital Science Center (DiSC) is an interfaculty organizational unit with its own staff and resources. Additionally, it classifies as a Research Area and therefore fulfils a double role. The DiSC is firmly embedded in the university's research system consisting of Research Areas, Research Platforms, and Research Centers. It has thus far established a formal affiliation with the Research Center Digital Humanities, which has significant overlaps with the DiSC in terms of subject matter and participating researchers.
Please note: The DiSC is not a service provider. If you need IT services or technical support (i.e. to set up a server or a database), please contact the Information Technology Services (ZID). If you want to learn more about high-performance computing, you will find detailed information on the website of the Research Area Scientific Computing.
Head
Univ.-Prof. Justus Piater, PhD
The DiSC Advisory Board must be convened once per semester to debate internal matters. It is a formal body of consultation established pursuant to §11(2) organization plan, consisting of all DiSC employees with a long-term contract as well as student representatives.
To include external perspectives from the Rectorate and the faculties, an informal Communication and Advisory Board was also established.
