About WissKI

WissKI@UBT is designed to make searching and exploration of research data more intuitive and user-friendly within the Research Data Management Systems (RDMSs) of the African Cluster Centres and the university of Bayreuth. The RDMS for the University of Bayreuth is called RDSpace@UBT. The figure below illustrates the overall structure of WissKI@UBT and its integration with the RDMSs in ACC.

WissKI@UBT empowers users to effortlessly search and explore research data, facilitating the discovery of collaboration opportunities and gaining insights into ongoing research activities. Moreover, users can uncover new research questions or previously unexplored research directions. All these will lead to contributing to reconfiguring African Studies.
