Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and information analytics company Elsevier have signed an agreement to launch an information management professorship at the university as part of the Einstein Center Digital Future. This builds on Humboldt's existing collaboration with Elsevier in the HEADT Centre and supports Berlin's position as a technology hub and a place for top researchers and academic excellence.
The professorship will be associated with the Humboldt-Elsevier Advanced Data & Text (HEADT) Centre and with the Berlin School of Library and Information Science. The HEADT Centre brings together experts from multiple disciplines within Humboldt-Universität, Elsevier and elsewhere to address issues such as research integrity (including reproducibility) and efficiencies in database structures and text mining. As part of the Einstein Center Digital Future the professorship will be closely connected to all relevant players doing research in the field of digitalization in Berlin.
The information management professorship supported by Elsevier is one of 50 professorships forming the Einstein Center Digital Future that have been coordinated and co-sponsored by the Einstein Foundation as part of the Digital Berlin project. The program provides support for recruiting top international researchers at Berlin universities.
