Trusting the Federated Services
Imagine a future where instead of 18 duplicated instances of the same service, we have 3 or 4 across all Helmholtz centers? That’s our vision for HIFIS and it is becoming a reality, with HZB leading the way.

New Scientific Services Joined Helmholtz Cloud
A fruitful cooperation has been established between the DataHub of the research area Earth and Environment and HIFIS. DataHub services utilize HIFIS services, including Helmholtz ID for authentication and authorization, the Helmholtz Research Software Directory (RSD) and the Helmholtz Cloud for access to data infrastructure services. This partnership supports the professionalization of scientific services and enables open access.
Currently, eight services from DataHub are offered on the Helmholtz Cloud Portal and thus also in the “Tools & Services” section of the Earth Data Portal.

New Education Portfolio is Online!
Check out the 2025 HIFIS Software Education Portfolio! Our joint course portfolio with HIDA has now expanded to include Helmholtz Imaging, Helmholtz AI and HMC. The portfolio covers a wide spectrum of Data Science and Software Engineering topics, and facilitates navigation to the right courses for your learning goals.
Refinement of Service Onboarding
Onboarding new services is a challenge for service providers, but it has become routine for the HIFIS team. The process described in detail here involves numerous tasks and requirements and often, the technical integration has to be customized to fit the service.
To optimize this process, the cloud teams critically and constructively discussed ways to improve the entire workflow. Numerous ideas were collected at the meeting in Jülich in September 2024.

Enhancing User Experience in Helmholtz ID
You might have noticed the need for duplicated multi-factor logins (MFA) when using Helmholtz ID for group management. If you already provided a second factor for your home organization’s account and your organisation transmits that information to Helmholtz ID, you will not be prompted to provide it again. This is now seamless for several Helmholtz Centers.
