A second webinar on the preparation of the BMBF's ErUM-Data call will take place on 01.07.2021 2021 (8:30-16:00). The aim is to discuss the BMBF's AI&ML call with a view to finding partners and consortia. Impulse lectures and discussion time are planned. This meeting complements the meeting organised by PT-DESY on 24.6.2021 on proposal submission. [Link for registration] |

On January 18 and 19 2021, a webinar on the preparation of the BMBF's ErUM-Data call will take place (18.01.21 14:00-17:30, 19.01.21 09:00-11:30). Project proposals on the two focal areas of machine learning and AI must be prepared in good time, not least because overarching and interdisciplinary networks are to be formed. The project goals should involve several communities and include researchers from the fields of mathematics and computer science. Please register until January 17, 2021, at: https://indico.desy.de/event/28330/ |
From Big Data to Smart Data: Digititalisation in basic scientific research
 |
The BMBF has published the action plan "ErUM-Data - from Big Data to Smart Data". The aim is to make greater use of the great potential of digital solutions from basic research in order to continue excellent research in the future and to meet social challenges at the same time. To this end, the action plan defines measures in the three overarching thematic fields of "Research Data Management", "Federated Digital Infrastructures" and "Software and Algorithms". It is important that researchers work together on an interdisciplinary basis, i.e. from different areas of ErUM (Research on Universe and Matter) and from different disciplines, such as physics, mathematics, computer science and data sciences.

Save the date: Zoom conferences for applicants
 |
Two dates to note for applicants in ErUM-Data and ErUM-Pro: The project management organisation DESY is offering a virtual information event for the ErUM-Data funding measure on June 24, 2021 (10-12 h). There will be a similar event on ErUM-Pro with the participation of the ErUM committees on July 30, 2021 (13-15 h). Did you know, for example, that you do not have to have a habilitation to submit an application? The calls for proposals will be explained and there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The event is primarily aimed at young researchers and others who are planning to submit a proposal for the first time. Further information will follow.

Online, 20 January 2022, 14 -17 p.m.
 |
The digital community meeting for the foundation of the ErUM-Data umbrella organisation *DIG-UM* will take place on 20 January 2022, from 14 to 17 p.m. A festive part and a technical part on perspectives of digital transformation in ErUM research are planned.

May 10 2019: Challenges and Opportunities of Digital Transformation in Fundamental Research on Universe and Matter, April 2019
 |
The committees which represent the users in ErUM (Exploration of the Universe and Matter) have published recommendataions on digital transformation in fundamental research on universe and matter. The paper is based on workshop involving the users and the intensive coordination of the committees research with neutrons (KFN), ions and nuclear probes (KFSI), synchrotron radiation (KFS), astroparticle Physics (KAT), particle physics (KET), accelerator physics (KfB), hadron and nuclear physics (KHuK) an the Council of German Observatories (RDS). It is part of the preparations for the new action plan ErUM data of the BMBF which aims at funding digital transformation in the research area. It is all about data management, standards, storage, accessibility of data and the use of artificial intelligience and other chances of digitalisation.[more]

The first call for proposals in the BMBF's new "ErUM-Data" action plan has now been published. Funding is available for collaborative projects in the field of "Software and Algorithms" for research into the universe and matter (ErUM), with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The deadline for applications is September 01, 2021. There was an online information event of PT DESY on June 24, 2021. [Information of PT DESY] [Announcement Bundesanzeiger] |
