Digitalisation and Data Infrastructure
Strategy and Aims
Digitalisation is a driving force in advancing research, teaching, and administration, and is helping us to lay the foundation for the future of our campus. Digitalisation actively facilitates the “Bielefeld Way” by enabling us to expand the scope of our research and communication activities. It also helps create the conditions needed to pursue excellence in both research and teaching.
In offering a complementary range of excellent digital instruction modalities, digitalisation contributes to students’ learning and studying experience, and prepares them for future career prospects in a digital, globalized world of work.
By providing all suitable support services in digitalised form – via app, barrier-free, and available 24/7 from anywhere in the world – we are working to lighten the load on researchers, staff in technical services and administration, and current students as well as prospective students.
In the field of scientific data infrastructure and IT services, we offer a cutting-edge portfolio of services, marked by comprehensive advising and individualised support.
We can only achieve these aims by considering the issues of ethics, law, and responsibility entailed in data and IT management. On the one hand, modern technologies such as artificial intelligence are offering remarkable technological solutions. At the same time, however, they also raise significant questions about how to use them responsibly. Digitalisation can only be a driver in the success of our university’s overarching goals if it is used in a responsible way.

From 1993–1994, he served as Professor at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg and headed a research group on microelectronics. In 1995, he moved to the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University. As a full professor, he headed the “Systems and Circuit Technology” research group, which worked on innovative circuit design and the development of microelectronic systems for resource-efficient information processing of large datasets in parallel. From 2001–2014, he was an Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Information Technology at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. In 2008, he received the first innovation prize from the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, together with his colleague Professor Noé.
