Gaining knowledge from data - gaining data from knowledge

The newly founded Michael Stifel Center Jena (MSCJ) aims at fostering interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field of data-driven and simulation science. It bundles core competencies and brings together many different scientific disciplines. On the occasion of the official opening, scientists will talk about the importance of simulations, data-driven research, networking and future developments.

Markus Reichstein, director at MPI for Biogeochemistry and head of the Department Biogeochemical Integration is member of the MSCJ board of directors. He is particularly interested in climatic and non-climatic effects on biosphere dynamics and global biogeochemical cycles bringing together data-driven, simulation-driven and theoretical approaches to improve our understanding of the Earth System.
