HIDA Event Formats

Hackathons & Challenges

Working together in a team on a data science task, tackling real research problems and achieving relevant results - at a hackathon or datathon, young data science talents can demonstrate their know-how and at the same time establish important networks. HIDA organizes numerous hackathons and challenges (live, hybrid and online) and supports hackathons as a cooperation partner. We can help you with our expertise in planning, implementing and promoting your event.

Data Science Lectures

Together with the six Helmholtz Data Science Research Schools, HIDA has launched the HIDA Lecture Series, where renowned, international data scientists from the different research fields talk about their research. HIDA is also a partner in other data science lecture series: the HMC Fair Friday and the DKFZ Data Science Seminar.

The lectures are open to all interested parties within and outside the Helmholtz Association.

TEACH - Talk about Education Across Communities in Helmholtz

The promotion of young scientists is a central component of the Helmholtz mission. Therefore, the development and management of training programmes and courses for PhD researchers, postdocs or research groups is particularly important. TEACH is an annual networking event for employees at Helmholtz Centres working in this context. It allows them to meet and network across centres and topics to share best practices and experiences, develop new ideas together, and share teaching and learning materials.

Conferences with HIDA

HIDA offers all Helmholtz scientists, and especially doctoral researchers and postdocs, opportunities for exchange and knowledge transfer at the HIDA Annual Conference. HIDA also participates in other conferences and major events as a partner in order to represent the Helmholtz Association to outside parties in matters of education and training in the data sciences and to present its offerings.
