EVENTS and
NETWORKING
Welcome to Kiez of Computing and Data Science, a platform for interconnectivity in all areas of data science and computation within the metropolitan region of Hamburg, Germany. Our mission is to connect academic institutions as well as public/private partnerships and share expertise and knowledge, resources and tools, and many more within the exciting area of data science.
The need for critical know-how in technical, legal, and ethical aspects of data science is evolving daily in the fast-paced and dynamic areas of science and computation that work with vast quantities of data.
Kiez of Computing and Data Science provides an interdisciplinary forum with expertise and contacts in all aspects of data science to build a connected knowledge base in data research and management which will foster new understanding of complex systems. It implements part of the Data Science & Digitalization topic of PIERPLUS.
Data science topics range from machine learning, artificial intelligence, distributed infrastructure, exascale computing, research data management and research software engineering.
Hamburg, globally renowned as an important European logistics and research hub with an excellence University and premier research institutions offers both, the competencies as well as the network, to tackle Big Data challenges together.
KONVENS (Konferenz zur Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache) is an annual conference dedicated to research in computational linguistics and language technology. Established in 1992, it brings together researchers, practitioners, and students to exchange ideas and present advances in natural language processing.
In 2026, the Conference on Natural Language Processing (KONVENS) will be hosted in Hamburg by the University of Hamburg We look forward to welcoming the NLP community to Hamburg for an inspiring exchange of ideas and research.
As 2nd of Germany’s largest cities, Hamburg is not only known for its vibrant cultural and economic life but also as a dynamic center for science and innovation. The city hosts a broad network of universities, research institutions, and technology companies that foster interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, linguistics, and artificial intelligence.
Within this ecosystem, the University of Hamburg plays a flagship role, with internationally recognized research in natural language processing (NLP), computational linguistics, and AI-driven language technologies.
By hosting KONVENS 2026 in Hamburg, we aim to highlight the city’s growing importance as a science hub and its contributions to the field of computational linguistics, while offering participants an inspiring environment for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
