Excellent research infrastructure

As a University of Excellence, Universität Hamburg is improving its research infrastructure to facilitate top-level, cutting-edge research. By setting up core facility platforms, the University is systematizing the procurement, use, and maintenance of core facilities. The new Digital Office headed by the chief digital officer plays a decisive role in coordinating strategic development in the area of digitalization.

Core facility platforms

Universität Hamburg—University of Excellence sets up, for example, core facility platforms in light microscopy and mass spectrometry. These partly centralized, partly decentralized platforms support the interdisciplinary and synergetic use of equipment.

A centralized coordinating office organizes the procurement and maintenance of large equipment, thereby facilitating a strategic and future-oriented development of research infrastructure at Universität Hamburg—University of Excellence.

IT and digitalization platform

Since the beginning of 2021, Universität Hamburg—University of Excellence has had a chief digital officer.

Coordinated by the Digital Office, a digitalization vision and a corresponding digitalization strategy will be developed, setting the ways in which the University will pursue digitalization in research, teaching, and administration.
