Who is researching which topic at the University of Hamburg? What research projects are there and what international collaborations exist? The “Research Information” portal now offers researchers, companies and anyone interested a detailed insight.

Data from numerous sources is brought together and processed on the website. This makes it possible to search for individual scientists, as well as research topics, research priorities and publications. Prizes and awards, research equipment used and patents filed can also be researched. The university's many international collaborations are clearly summarized on a world map.

“The portal opens up the opportunity to increase the visibility of the diverse research achievements of scientists at the University of Hamburg and thus significantly improve the overall external image,” says Prof. Dr. Jan Louis, Vice President of the University of Hamburg for Research, Science Promotion and Digitalization.

“Thanks to the revision, the website offers a central and compact overview,” adds Dr. Stefan Thiemann, head of the Center for Sustainable Research Data Management at the University of Hamburg. “This is not only interesting for researchers at our university and other institutions who are looking for research or collaboration opportunities. For example, an overview of scientific publications or patents that have been registered at the university can also be very important for companies.”

Another option on the portal is to search for specific research data, such as test or survey evaluations, some of which are freely accessible. Depending on the data category within the portal, there is a different temporal coverage and completeness of the data. They go back to around 2010. In the future, data from further back will be supplemented and the latest data will be continually added. Only the research achievements of the Medical Faculty of the University of Hamburg are not part of the site. They are presented in the research portal of the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf.
