Come2Data - National Data Competence Center with a Saxon Focus

Come2Data is one of eleven national Data Competence Centres currently in development. It aims to foster the proliferation of data competencies and skills primarily in academia, but also in public administration, industry and the interested public. It follows an interdisciplinary, regional approach by bringing together existing data-related teaching, training and support services of the project partners (TU Chemnitz, TU Dresden, Leipzig University and Saxon State Library – Dresden State and University Library) as well as expertise and activities on research data management (e.g. in SaxFDM), the National Research Infrastructure (NFDI) and high-performance computing and analysis methods for data-intensive, interdisciplinary research applications, such as artificial intelligence and data modelling (e.g. in ScADS.AI). Information on offerings and resources will be aggregated and made accessible via a virtual platform serving as a central entry point. Existing teaching offers and materials will be didactically overhauled, tailored to different target groups and arranged in learning paths on a modular basis. Findings and solutions developed as part of pilot projects from various disciplines will be integrated. In addition, Come2Data will explore possibilities for the integration of data-related content into curricula and teaching as well as certification and implement them on a trial basis.
