Website: https://izd2m.hu-berlin.de/

Short Description

The IZ D2MCM provides a central consulting and cooperation infrastructure for digital research and teaching at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Target groups are teaching staff, researchers, students, and doctoral candidates from the humanities, cultural, and social sciences. The service supports the establishment of interdisciplinary projects, the development of shared research focuses, and the use of digital methods through consulting, workshops, and access to expertise. For universities, it promotes networking between faculties, strengthens research infrastructure, and enables the sustainable integration of digital competencies into teaching and research.
