Heilbronn Data Science Center | TUM Campus Heilbronn

Bridging data, AI, and business, for the digital age: the TUM Heilbronn Data Science Center (HDSC) drives innovation through interdisciplinary research and realworld impact. Our mission is to transform data into knowledge and knowledge into solutions by empowering academia, industry, and society alike.

The HDSC is an interdisciplinary research center funded by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and jointly shaped by two leading TUM Schools:

Six professors from each school form the scientific core of the Center. With a strong focus on the development of new methods, models, and algorithms. This foundational research is complemented by application-oriented projects to deliver actionable insights and real-world solutions.

At HDSC, we all work hand in hand to achieve the best outcomes. The Center addresses pressing economic and societal challenges across diverse domains from supply chains and operations to finance, health, and digital transformation.

Through this collaborative ecosystem, the Center serves as a platform for:

Interdisciplinary cooperation
Knowledge exchange
Scientific progress
Innovation transfer

on local, national, and international levels.

Connect expertise from management and computation to foster an inspiring environment for foundational and applied data science research.
Enable innovation and transfer of cutting-edge data science methods from HDSC to academia, industry, and society.
Deliver immersive and English-taught programs to educate and empower the next generation of AI innovators and data scientists.
Promote active exchange and collaboration on data-driven topics among researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and the public – locally and beyond.
