“For me, digitalization means the opportunity to gain new insights using new methods and to share them. In research, it opens up new horizons; in teaching, it enables encounters and exchanges even across continents. That inspires me every day anew.”
Prof. Dr. Maren Bennewitz
Vice Rector for Digitalization and Information Management
Steps toward our digital transformation
All activities, measures, and objectives are detailed in the digital strategy and are continuously developed in an ongoing process.
We are tackling the challenges of digital transformation in seven areas:

High performance computing
The high-performance computing infrastructure at the University of Bonn is jointly planned and managed by our two HPC-related units: the University IT and Data Center (HPC@HRZ) team and the High Performance Computing and Analytics Lab (HPC/A-Lab).
Digitally aided teaching
As digital forms and channels of communication are a natural part of the media culture of the modern knowledge society, teaching and studying at the University of Bonn are supplemented by digital elements.
AI in research, teaching and administration
Our AI think tank addresses the increasing relevance of AI methods in all scientific fields and continuously develops proposals for strategic measures.
To implement these measures, the University of Bonn plans to establish a "Center for AI Assisted Research & Education "(CAIRE).
