How can complex optimization problems be solved efficiently and reliably when data is uncertain, dynamic, or only partially known? This question will bring together around 60 researchers from August 10-14, 2026, for the international Chilean-German Workshop on Combinatorial Optimization in Bremen.

Shaping the future of data-driven research in content moderation: on August 30, 2026, the workshop will bring together academia and industry to discuss research methods, promote knowledge exchange and support the development of novel solutions.

Drawing on experiences from the Data Competence Center DataNord, the article examines challenges related to data literacy in the marine environmental sciences and discusses approaches to make data literacy and research data management more accessible and practical for researchers.

The Data Science Center took part in the University of Bremen’s OPEN CAMPUS 2026 with an interactive booth at the MZH. At the Data Wheel of Fortune, visitors could test their knowledge of data, AI, and data science, and win small prizes.

“CHERI-VP” enables the early evaluation of CHERI-enabled embedded RISC-V systems through virtual prototyping and benchmark-driven analysis. The simulation-based approach thus contributes to the systematic study of secure hardware-software co-design for emerging embedded computing platforms.

Together with partners from the University of Oldenburg, the Data Science Center has successfully secured a project under the Northwest Advanced funding line. The "Data Encounters Northwest" initiative intends to foster the development of new cross-campus collaborations in the field of data science.

The collaboration between the ZeMKI Lab for Digital Communication and Information Diversity (University of Bremen) and the Science Communication Department at the IKMZ (University of Zürich) aims to research digital transformation processes in science communication using data-driven approaches.

By developing a reproducibility engine, the project makes it possible for the first time to automatically verify the reproducibility of empirical studies. This addresses a weak point in the transfer of knowledge and lays the groundwork for well-informed real-world decisions.

The project aims to foster collaboration among researchers in digital literary studies from across Europe through regional network meetings and guest lectures, thereby creating a strong network for the consolidation of methods and theories.

As part of the Digital Humanities Lunchtalks, the DSC, SuUB and the BIS brought together researchers from Bremen and Oldenburg for a discussion. The online series once again demonstrated how collaboration within the Northwest Alliance is providing new impulses for digital methods in the humanities.
