+## The Helmholtz-Incubator Information & Data Science
+The Helmholtz Incubator Information & Data Science was founded in June 2016 by the President of the Helmholtz Association in order to intelligently combine and enhance the diverse, 
+decentralised expertise of the Association in the broad field of Information & Data Science. To this end, all Helmholtz Centres have each sent two top-class scientists to the Helmholtz Incubator. 
+They are supported by proven experts from researching companies and well-known research institutions as well as several consulting firms. The Helmholtz Incubator is accompanied by the Helmholtz Association office.
+
+The Helmholtz Incubator integrates existing, forward-looking initiatives of the Helmholtz Association through a community-wide bottom-up process. 
+The regular consolidation of the expertise of the Helmholtz Centres enables the visionary design of the Information & Data Science topic beyond the boundaries of centres and research areas. 
+The Helmholtz Incubator is breaking new ground in this dynamic, comprehensive and interdisciplinary way by setting strategic priorities.
+
+The Helmholtz Incubator is currently pursuing the following goals:
+
+* the regular interaction of creative minds from across the community,
+* the creation of foundations for innovative, interdisciplinary networks and approaches,
+* the identification of forward-looking topics and disruptive pilot projects,
+* the planning and monitoring of long-term and community-wide platforms.
+
+Within the Helmholtz Association, the Helmholtz Incubator has developed a high level of dynamism, formulated numerous impulses with a broad thematic scope, 
+facilitated a diverse exchange between digitisation experts from all domains, and thus initiated an in-depth strategy process.
+
+In addition to HIFIS, the Incubator has initiated four other platforms:
+
+* [Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA)](https://www.helmholtz-hida.de/)
+* [Helmholtz Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Unit (Helmholtz AI)](https://www.helmholtz.ai/)
+* Helmholtz Imaging Platform (HIP)
+* [Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration](https://helmholtz-metadaten.de)
