We aim to establish a university cloud-based storage platform and database and implement research data management workflows from ingest to long-term availability (1). We will provide a close integration with the university's central HPC for compute-intensive data analysis, especially for machine learning (2). In addition, we will establish a state-of-theart GitLab/DevOps software development environment to accommodate a common framework architecture for the visualization and analysis methods developed and used in the CRC to ensure their sustainability, reuse and transferability (3).

Finally, we will create a unifying visualization environment and focus on user experience (UX), easy and secure data sharing, performance-optimized remote computing and assisted report generation (4).
