Scientific skills

IFU researchers focus on the impact of global climate and land-use change and interactions on local, regional and global scales. To train the next generation of scientists, we organize a range of Summer Schools (e.g. the MICMoR Summer Schools) and Technical Short Courses for doctoral students and postdocs. IFU’s senior staff and visiting scientists from all over the world are lecturers in these courses. Furthermore, they provide ample opportunities for our postdoctoral researchers to develop their teaching skills.

Some IFU scientists have teaching chairs, e.g. at KIT, University of Freiburg, University of Augsburg, University of Cologne and TU München and give lectures and courses for Bachelor, Master and PhD students at those universities.

Data Science training opportunities

HIDA – the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy – is Germany’s largest postgraduate training network in the field of information and data science. HIDA offers doctoral researchers and scientists attractive opportunities to obtain training and continuing education in a wide range of methods and to become part of an international data science network. To see HIDA's offers, visit https://www.helmholtz-hida.de/course-catalog/en/.

HIFIS – Helmholtz Federated IT Services – builds and sustains an excellent IT infrastructure connecting all Helmholtz research centres. This includes the Helmholtz Cloud, where members of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres provide selected IT-Services for joint use. HIFIS Software also provides education, technology, consulting and community services. To get an overview of HIFIS Courses, go to https://www.hifis.net.
