Exploring Universe and
The ErUM-Communities
Research into the universe and matter brings together around 20,000 scientists from various fields in Germany: Astroparticle physics, elementary particle physics, accelerator physics, research with neutrons, research with synchrotron radiation, research with nuclear probes and ion beams, hadron and nuclear physics as well as the Council of German Observatories.
German ErUM research is thus organized in 8 ErUM committees. These coordinate and represent the interests of the respective research areas. Although ErUM scientists work on different scientific issues, they face similar challenges.
Overview of the 8 ErUM-Communities:
ErUM-Communities
Astroparticle Physics
The Committee for Astroparticle Physics represents all German physicists in the field of astroparticle physics.
Elementary Particles Physics
The Committee for Elementary Particle Physics is the elected representation of the German particle physicists.
Accelerator Physics
The Accelerator Physics Committee represents the interests of accelerator physics employees and students.
Research with neutrons
The KFN is an independent interest group with the aim to promote research with neutrons in Germany.
Research with synchrotron radiation
The KFS represents all researchers working with synchrotron radiation in Germany.
Research with nuclear probes and ion beams
The KFSI represents and promotes research with nuclear probes and ion beams in Germany.
Hadron and nuclear physics
The Hadron and Nuclear Physics Committee coordinates and represents the interests of German hadron and nuclear physicists.
German Observatory Council
The Council of German Observatories represents the interests of the institutes active in astronomical research in Germany.
Our Cooperation partners
Belle II is a particle physics experiment at SuperKEKB, a particle accelerator at the Japanese Research Center for High Energy Physics KEK. Belle II is designed to enable researchers to discover new interactions and new particles.

DAPHNE stands for DAten aus PHotonen und Neutronen Experimenten. It is a project for a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In order to meet the challenges of data and metadata management and high data rates, DAPHNE develops solutions for outstanding scientific experiments together with the user community.

FIDIUM steht für „Federated Digital Infrastructures for Research on Universe and Matter“. Die Fortschritte in den Bereichen experimentelle Teilchen-, Astroteilchen-, Hadronen- und Kernphysik produzieren immer größeren Mengen an Forschungsdaten. Die höhere Auflösung moderner Instrumente hat zu riesigen Datensätzen geführt, die die Größenordnung von Millionen von Terabytes und mehr erreichen und nicht nur umfangreiche Rechen- und Speicherressourcen, sondern auch einen benutzerfreundlichen Zugang erfordern. FIDIUM zielt darauf ab, diese Herausforderungen zu lösen, indem mehrere komplexe Infrastrukturen, die eine Reihe von Diensten anbieten, virtuell kombiniert werden.
The LHC-ErUM is a joint communication and transfer project of the four ErUM research focuses (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) at the Large Hadron Collider. The office organizes a wide range of measures for the partners involved in the areas of public relations, promotion of young scientists and knowledge and technology transfer.

Netzwerk Teilchenwelt is an association of 30 research institutes in Germany that conduct research into the physics of the smallest particles and allow young people and teachers to participate in current cutting-edge research. The offers in the network make an important contribution to the recruitment of young talents.
PUNCH4NFDI ist das NFDI-Konsortium der Teilchen-, Astro-, Astroteilchen-, Hadronen- und Kernphysik, das rund 9.000 promovierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Universitäten, der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft und der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft in Deutschland vertritt. Die PUNCH-Physik befasst sich mit den grundlegenden Bestandteilen der Materie und ihren Wechselwirkungen sowie mit ihrer Rolle bei der Entstehung der größten Strukturen im Universum – Sterne und Galaxien.
"Terascale" pools German activities in the field of high-energy accelerator physics. It is a network comprising all German research institutions working on LHC experiments, a future linear collider or the associated phenomenology - 18 universities, two Helmholtz centers and one Max Planck Institute. The alliance covers the following topics: Development of new accelerator and detector technologies, methods of data analysis, development of theoretical models and methods, and development of the corresponding computing infrastructure.

Short facts
The ErUM-Data-Hub is the central networking and transfer office for the digital transformation in the exploration of universe and matter.
As a Digital Knowledge Agent, the ErUM-Data-Hub performs strategic activities to support the digital transformation in fundamental ErUM-Pro research.
Under the leadership of Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Erdmann, the ErUM-Data-Hub team is located at RWTH Aachen University.
