Data Acquisition and Mobilisation

The research and development work of the department aims at providing high-quality data for industry and science. Main research areas are (1) the development of effective methods to ensure data quality in data acquisition as well as reliability and representativeness of information derived from data, (2) the exploitation of yet untapped data sources by developing novel methods for data collection and for incentivizing data sharing, and (3) the creation of effective and target group-oriented data access. Cross-cutting topics of the department are the consideration of human factors in the development of data science methods as well as the development of effective concepts for knowledge and technology transfer as essential foundations for the effectiveness and acceptance of data-based applications.
