   After three years of ramp-up, HIFIS underwent a thorough evaluation by an international expert commitee.
   First results are very positive, and we will adapt our roadmap and next action points according to the feedback.

+As we posted [some weeks ago]({% post_url 2022/2022-10-06-hifis-evaluation %}), HIFIS underwent a thorough review after the first few years of ramp-up phase.
+As it was not possible to invite all HIFIS team members and all stakeholders to the main event, we organised an online [Post Review Meeting](https://events.hifis.net/event/565/) on Friday, 18 November 2022.
+
+Volker Gülzow, Coordinator and Spokesperson of HIFIS, gave a warm welcome and thanked everybody involved in the smooth running of the evaluation event.
+Uwe Jandt, responsible for the overall management of HIFIS, presented an overview both of the HIFIS achievements and the preliminary (very positive) evaluation results.
+The cluster managers added brief presentations from their areas.
+
+Further, we performed a technical demonstration of orchestrated cloud services for a use case that has been set up together with [Helmholtz Imaging](https://helmholtz-imaging.de/).
+In the exemplary data presented, intracellular organelles have been visualized and 3D rendered using an automated and distributed pipeline.
+The demonstration showcased the interconnectivity of cloud services located at different Helmholtz Centres and the modularity of such pipelines, allowing to exchange or scale up pipeline parts when beneficial.
+The confection of similar orchestrated IT services and pipelines will be a major focus of HIFIS in the future.
+
+The decentrality of both Helmholtz and HIFIS is clearly a forte: HIFIS as an infrastructure provider and service broker collects and connects the efforts, capabilities and accomplishments in Research Software Engineering (RSE) and IT services of all Helmholtz Centres.
+Thus, we can facilitate further usage and developement as well as bridge the knowledge gap between IT and domain science.
+By acting as a catalyst in building trust between the 18 Helmholtz Centres, HIFIS can act as a role model within and beyond the Helmholtz Association, a statement that has been stressed during the evaluation.

+
+## Baton is passed on to other Incubator platforms and graduate schools
+HIFIS is not the only platform within Helmholtz that undergoes a thorough evaluation:
+Each of the Helmholtz Incubator plattforms and the six adjoined graduate schools have either already been reviewed in the last weeks or are going to be in 2023.
+However, as HIFIS was the very first to undergo this process, we have gathered valuable know-how in the organisation of such an event and of course passed this on towards the other platforms, which are going to be reviewed in Hamburg during 2023, including
+[Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration](https://helmholtz-metadaten.de/en) (HMC), 
+[Helmholtz Imaging](https://helmholtz-imaging.de/) and 
+[Data Science in Hamburg](https://www.dashh.org/) (DASHH), the Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter.
