Discover the full spectrum of data science support and expertise at the Helmholtz booth , where five Helmholtz-wide platforms showcase their combined strength to accelerate research—particularly in the Earth and Environment field. These platforms—Helmholtz AI, Helmholtz Information and Data Science Academy (HIDA), Helmholtz Federated IT Services (HIFIS), Helmholtz Imaging and Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC)—operate across the entire Helmholtz Association to advance artificial intelligence, imaging, metadata, research software and training . Our booth serves as a one-stop hub for information and data science exchange and support.

What We Offer:
- Helmholtz AI offers tailored consulting, computing resources, and funding opportunities to democratise and accelerate the application of artificial intelligence in science - supporting a wide range of use cases, from foundation models to domain-specific solutions.
- HIDA offers a rich portfolio of training, networking, and funding opportunities, fostering the next generation of data scientists and supporting upskilling across all career stages.
- HIFIS provides and brokers federated cloud services hosted across Helmholtz centers and delivers training and support on using those services, as well as on Research Software Engineering.
- Helmholtz Imaging provides access to cutting-edge imaging infrastructure, funding opportunities, and expert consulting - enabling researchers to unlock new insights from complex earth and environmental data and beyond.
- HMC provides internationally aligned data management concepts, tools, services and training to support the Helmholtz Association – ensuring your data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) for collaborative research and advanced science.

Whether you are looking for support with AI/ML methods, data analysis, benchmarking, inverse problems, high-performance computing, research software, metadata and data management workflows, the five Helmholtz Information & Data Science platforms are here to help. We also offer opportunities for training and collaboration.
