Hessian Digital Pact at JLU
- Digital Pact 2020-2024
- The state Hessen and its universities and colleges see digital transformation as a creative task. Following previous steps to this end and during the last two phases of the Higher Education Pact, intramural collaborative projects have been launched and implemented as part of the state's university development plan along with individual university measures. Building on these, the state's universities and colleges, the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts, and the Minister of Digital Strategy and Development are therefore committing to digital transformation through the Hessian Digital Pact for Universities (DPH) in order to strengthen this state as a place for higher learning.

Position papers of Hessian universities
-
JLU is currently participating in the following Digital Pact projects:
- IT Security Project
-
Information and IT Security
The universities are improving the protection of their critical infrastructure, applications, and information (data) in order to consolidate the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of their IT services at a high level and to ensure their information is protected. Here, the universities are setting the technical, personnel, organizational, and process-oriented conditions needed for this.
- PMO/DTO Project
-
Competence in Digital Transformation
As part of the project, existing CIO structures will be further developed, project management teams will be established, and digital transformation / project management offices will be established to use the Digital Pact projects to shape cultural change at the university and drive digital transformation forward.
- HKHLR Project
-
Competence Center for High-Performance Computing in Hessen
The core task of HKHLR is to help scientists make efficient and sustainable use of Hessen's high-performance computers. JLU Giessen operates its own HPC cluster (Skylla) and, together with 3 other Hessian universities, is a central player in the Competence Center for High-Performance Computing.
- DWBI Project
-
Data Warehouse | Business Intelligence
All Hessian universities are faced with the challenge of making their data sets on finances, personnel, research, and teaching/learning available for the long term in a standardized, quality-assured manner for purposes such as strategic development decisions, monitoring measures, fulfilling reporting obligations, or even accreditation processes.
- NFDI Project
-
National Research Data Infrastructure
This project pursues a two-pronged goal of, on the one hand, making all developments in NFDI (potentially) available to all scientists in Hessen via the HeFDI network and, on the other hand, strengthening the roles of any Hessian institutions participating in NFDI.
- De.NBI Project
-
German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure
The de.NBI cloud gives researchers access to computationally powerful cloud computing for processing and analyzing big data (e.g. genomes). The de.NBI network offers various training and consulting services. JLU Giessen is the only university in Hessen to operate its own de.NBI cloud, thereby helping promote cutting-edge digital research in Hessen.
- QIP Project
-
Migrating HeBIS to a new platform
The objective of this project is to migrate the library management system to the open source FOLIO and build up the central hosting infrastructure in this Hessian network. QIP stands for Quality, Innovation, Predictability.
- LaVaH II Project
-
Long-term Availability at Hessian Universities
The objective of this project is to implement an infrastructure for long-term availability in the Hessian university network.
- HeOSP Project
-
Hessian Open Science Portals
The objective of this project is to develop research information systems into central data hubs in which information on the research process is brought together. From research funding to available large-scale equipment for collecting and methodically evaluating research data and materials to the publication of results and data, information is networked and made analyzable and interactively accessible. In this way, the portals and information systems of the Hessian universities offer both unimpeded and machine-readable access to your research projects and results, help you participate in research across a broad spectrum of society, and are compliant with the core data set for research.
- HessenHub Project
-
Digitally Supported Teaching and Learning 2 (HessenHub)
HessenHub (formerly digLL) is a network project that is working on the challenges of digital transformation in society with a view to develop solutions in academic teaching across universities. By regularly networking project members, teachers, and the universities as institutions, as well as the resulting collaboration, the digital transformation of university teaching is driven forward in a way that is oriented towards the needs of science and the educational requirements of students.
- H³ Project
-
H Cubed
This is a combination of the projects HeIDI II (Hessian Federated Identity Management) as access management infrastructure (IaaS) for digital cloud workplaces, Heindz (Hessian Innovative Digital Workplace) as a hybrid cloud to supply the state universities in Hessen, and HEVA II (Hessian Virtual Workplace) as virtual desktop infrastructure (DaaS).
- HeFDI II Project
-
Hessian Research Data Infrastructures 2
The HeFDI project is concerned with establishing university-internal and Hessen-wide organizational structures to manage research data. In this project, information events on managing research data are being offered and a continuous range of consulting services is being expanded.
- DMS Project
-
Digital Document-Based Workflow Management
This is a federated, Hessen-wide project to implement a comprehensive, digital, document-based workflow management system, i.e. legally compliant, electronic document management. The goal is to convert the previously paper-based workflows of all administrative units into an electronic document management system (DMS).
- OZG Project
-
Implementing the Online Access Act
The Online Access Act (OZG) obligates public universities nationwide to digitally implement specified administrative services for these target groups: applicants, students, and guests/auditors. The following OZG services have already been implemented at JLU in the field of education (stage 3):
- Applications
- University access for professionals without a university degree/qualification
- Certificates of foreign university qualifications
