Every year the Berlin Science Week transforms the city into a vibrant festival of scientific ideas and debates. With over 180 participating organisations and more than 600 involved scientists, artists, politicians, and other inspiring initiators, Berlin Science Week captivates a diverse audience of over 30,000 participants. From our dynamic festival hubs, CAMPUS at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and Science & Culture FORUM at Holzmarkt 25, to various venues across the city, and online events from around the world, we ignite a lively platform for public exchange around topics of science and research and their role for a better tomorrow for all. Join the conversation, meet curious minds from around the world, and engage with new ideas and perspectives. Together with NFDIxCS, the DKZ.2R is organising an interactive exhibition at the “Museum für Naturkunde” on the first and second of November. We hope to meet you there!

INFORMATIK 2024

For the 54th time the German Computer Science Society is celebrating the INFORMATIK Festival, an event dedicated to networking and the exchange of information and skills between people working in computer science. This year’s event is hosted by the Hochschule Rhein-Main in Wiesbaden. The DKZ.2R will be taking part in the “Data-Science-Community Workshop” on the last day of the festival. The overarching goal of this workshop is to build bridges and lay the groundwork for sustainable connections between different data-science related projects like the newly founded Data Literacy Centers and other projects receiving permanent funding such as the different NFDI consortia.

Comments on Collaboration - My Experience with the DKZ.2R Rent-an-Expert Program

At the beginning of this year (2025), I received an email regarding the DKZ.2R “Rent an expert” program. I was very interested in this initiative and therefore applied for support from the scientific consulting team at the Rhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy (DKZ.2R) for assistance with my data analysis.

I obtained my master’s degree in Plant Nutrition from the China Agricultural University and pursued my PhD study at the University of Hohenheim. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation, Crop Functional Genomics, at the University of Bonn.
My research expertise includes plant culturing, molecule cloning, biochemical analysis and limited data analysis experience on large-scale NGS datasets.
Since the beginning of April 2025, two DKZ.2R consultants were assigned to me: Tarek Iraki, who is proficient in programming languages such as Python, and Lennard Maßmann, who specializes in working with R. Together, we collaboratively worked on my Postdoctoral project, which focuses on the molecular and genomic dissection of lateral root development in maize.
