ABOUT DKSR

We are DKSR, the Data Competence Center for Cities and Regions, a spin-off of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. We are a team of experts in urban development, urban planning, sustainability and urban data. And we are united by a clear vision: ecologically valuable, socially just and economically attractive cities and regions that master their complex challenges unerringly because they have all the information they need to do so! We help them do this by making the systemic complexity of cities and regions understandable and manageable with urban data. In this way, we enable decision-makers to weigh up options for action based on evidence in order to make our living spaces resilient and sustainable. We offer cities and municipalities: powerful data infrastructures, user-friendly urban data solutions for data management, data analysis and services for citizens as well as consulting, capacity building and targeted data services.

We are looking to strengthen our committed and friendly team as soon as possible:
