The activities of DoDSc are spread over the campus of the TU Dortmund. The aim of the DoDSc is therefore to create a common infrastructure with regard to personnel, premises and IT in the field of data sciences. Currently the Faculties of Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics are mainly involved. An extension of this circle, especially to further application areas, is pursued in the near future.
By participating in large-scale research projects, the DoDSc has access to relevant research data. Other data sources will continuously be made accessible. With regard to planning and administration of scientific computing resources, a close cooperation is maintained with the "Dortmunder Zentrum für Wissenschaftliches Rechnen" (DoWiR).
