Göttingen eResearch Alliance

The Göttingen eResearch Alliance is a dedicated research supporting unit for the Göttingen Campus. Its work focuses on assisting researchers with issues and questions arising from the progressing digitalization of the entire research process. Thereby it aims to enhance the scientific progress and capabilities of research teams and individual researchers.

Sustainable and reliable support and services aligned with data policies and requirements from the university and research funding organisations have become increasingly important for most research processes. In order to address these requirements, the Göttingen eResearch Alliance offers various aspects of managing information and research data throughout the research cycle, ranging from project planning over data collection and analysis to publishing and archiving data and results:

  • Consultation for researchers and project teams
  • IT and data service provision
  • Training and workshops for young researchers and students
  • Active participation in research projects
  • Local, national and international networking

In particular, the Göttingen eResearch Alliance provides the portal Göttingen Research Online (GRO) with central eResearch services for the Göttingen Campus.

The Göttingen eResearch Alliance is organised as a collaborative unit of the major infrastructure providers on the Göttingen Campus. Cooperating institutions are the GWDG (Computing and IT Competence Centre of the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Society), the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB Göttingen) and the Uiversity Medical Center Göttingen (UMG). The eResearch Alliance also cooperates closely with the university Research and Transfer Services Department. The multidisciplinary constitution of the Göttingen eResearch Alliance team allows for offering specific support on different research subjects.
