The Key Figures and University Statistics Team calculates and reports on university statistics on the basis of legal higher education statistics as well as other data sources. We develop university data and evaluation processes with modern BI processes and instruments, and provide support with analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of data for university processes.

We are responsible for the following tasks:

• University-wide coordination and delivery of government-mandated statistics to the Office of Statistics.
• Preparation of university statistics and evaluation procedures in a data warehouse, data management, and quality control of data for university statistics.
• Providing product information for the University regarding City of Hamburg’s development and budget plan as well as product-data planning relating to target and performance agreements with the regulatory authority.
• Preparation of University data for requests from the Hamburg Parliament, press and public affairs, as well as for internal reporting activities and other university processes (e.g., for capacity calculation).
• Periodic data delivery and evaluation of university rankings and university comparisons, particularly comparisons of facilities, costs, and output between the universities in northern Germany (AKL).
• Data provision for Research Core Data Set, the Excellence Initiative, and quality management.

The Data Warehouse and BI (Business Intelligence) Team develops a central data warehouse that provides an integrated and consistent view of administrative data generated from various source systems. This serves as the foundation for add-on evaluations, reports, and analyses. We help with quality assurance and overall data coordination through Campus-wide data standards and automated data integration processes.

Specifically, we are responsible for the following core activities:

• Connectivity of the relevant data source systems through automated interfaces.
• Preparation of an overarching data model for structuring and standardization of administrative data.
• Development and installation of processes for recording administrative data.
• Development and installation of a central administrative structure and preparation of master data (e.g., organization structures, statistic keys, etc.).
• Definition and establishment of quality assurance processes for administrative data.
• Development and installation of correction data management.
