Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities

The Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH), founded in January 2010, is a scientific institution of the Georg-August-University of Göttingen with the aim of coordinating, carrying out and further developing inter-faculty and inter-institutional research, teaching and infrastructural activities as well as applications in the field of digital humanities. It is supported by five faculties - Faculty of Law, Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Theology and Faculty of Economics - and the Lower Saxony State and University Library (SUB) and works closely with the Göttingen Academy of Sciences, the Duke August Library Wolfenbüttel and the Max Planck Society/Max Planck Digital Library.

Association of Digital Humanities in German-speaking Countries (DHd)

Models and methods of the digital humanities are an integral part of teaching and of numerous research projects at the University of Hamburg. They are currently of particular relevance in the DFG-funded collaborative projects TEUCHOS and the SFB "Manuscript Cultures", the EU project ATLAS, the Google-DH-funded project CLÉA and the Hamburg CLARIN subproject of the Center for Linguistics. With the Computer Philology Centre, founded in 2001 as one of the first German institutions of its kind, and the Hamburg Centre for Language Corpora, the University of Hamburg supports the interdisciplinary and cross-institute development of working infrastructures in the field of digital humanities.

In 2012, the University of Hamburg hosted the international Digital Humanities Conference at which the Association of Digital Humanities in German Speaking Countries (DHd) was founded. DHd sees itself as a forum and formal lobby for researchers who are involved in research and teaching in the German-speaking world - regardless of their discipline - in the field of Digital Humanities. As a regional association, DHd is associated with the European Association of Digital Humanities (EADH) and thus also represented in the international umbrella organization Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO).

University of Cologne - Historical-Cultural Science Information Processing (HKI)

Since its establishment, the professorship for HKI has been active in interdisciplinary research and teaching in the overlapping field between computer science and the humanities. Due to its strong commitment in the transition area between the subject-specific analysis of digital material from the field of cultural heritage and its provision within the framework of digital libraries, it is at the same time active at the interface between content research and research-supporting infrastructure. By defining its mission particularly broadly and taking into account the often unconnected approaches of IT-supported processes in the textual and non-textual fields, it has a broad view of the infrastructural needs of many disciplines in the humanities. It is involved in international projects both in the described teaching approaches and in infrastructural activity.

Max-Planck-Society– Max Planck Digital Library

The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is a scientific service unit within the Max Planck Society that offers its researchers services for the organization of scientific information needs. These services include the provision of research data through the conception, development and operation of information infrastructures as well as other technical solutions for information management. Furthermore, the MPDL supports the scientists as a competence center and advisor in all areas of scientific information Management..

Research Network Marbach Weimar Wolfenbüttel

Since 2013, the German Literature Archive Marbach, the Weimar Classic Foundation and the Duke August Library of Wolfenbüttel have combined their research activities in a network (MWW) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The collections of the three institutions are among the most important testimonies to German and European cultural heritage. The research projects carried out within the framework of MWW address current issues in text, image, book and media studies as well as the history of ideas and science. The aim is to bring the unique collections even closer to the focus of scholarship on a national and international level.

With the establishment of a common digital infrastructure, research gets new access to the rich holdings as well as the possibility to research them with Digital Humanities methods. Within the framework of MWW, subprojects were carried out on the modelling of metadata, the establishment of a digital long-term archive and the development of a virtual research environment. DARIAH's Generic Search was used and further developed for the development of a search across all collections. In addition, the research network was involved in the area of scientific collections at DARIAH.

Research Centre Jülich GmbH - Jülich Supercomputing Centre

The Supercomputing Centre at Research Centre Jülich has been operating the first German supercomputing centre since 1987. It provides researchers in Germany and Europe with computing time at the highest performance level via an independent peer review process. More than 200 experts and contacts work on all aspects of supercomputing and simulation sciences. One focus of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre is the field of federated systems and data. In addition to the European open source software UNICORE, application environments and application-specific services for distributed data and computing infrastructures are developed here together with users. The autonomy of the user groups and centres is respected by the federated approach in the development.

Max Planck Computing and Data Facility

The Max Planck Computing and Data Facility, formerly the Garching Computer Center of the Max Planck Society, focuses on high-performance computing, cluster computing, data management and long-term archiving. As one of the oldest data centers in Germany, it has been operating high-performance computers for Max Planck Institutes for almost 50 years, and has been providing application support for scientific computing on parallel computers for almost 20 years. For the ATLAS experiment at CERN, the RZG is a partner in the Munich Tier2 Center. It operates dedicated cluster and storage systems for 15 Max Planck Institutes throughout Germany. Web services for database, storage and computer systems are operated as part of the ATLAS project, the PANSTARRS project, the MIGENAS bioinformatics platform and the VIRGO cosmology consortium. The long-term archiving includes experimental data from fusion experiments, particle physics experiments, satellite data (e.g. NASA), simulation data from HPC projects as well as valuable data from art history and humanities (Bibliotheca Hertziana, languages extinct or threatened with extinction). The oldest archive data (experiment data) are 30 years old. The MPCDF participated in the D-Grid project as a collaborative partner in the development of the D-Grid core infrastructure and is currently strongly involved in international cooperation projects (among others as consortium leader of DEISA).

Max Planck Institute for the History of Science

The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin is one of more than 80 research institutes of the MPG and was founded in 1994. The MPIWG investigates how new categories of thinking, proving and experience have evolved over centuries of interaction between the sciences and their surrounding cultures. Comparative studies across epochs and spaces examine the historical conditions under which scientific culture and science as culture have emerged. The individual research projects cover several millennia, they refer to the cultures of the West and the East, the North and the South, and to the most diverse disciplines, from Babylonian mathematics to modern genetics, from the natural history of the Renaissance to the beginnings of quantum mechanics.
