The pilot exhibition “//DataSpaces Wissenschaft erleben”, planned and curated by the Interactive Science Lab, brings together current research from CIDS and TU Dresden with interactive elements and the historical computing and computer technology of TU Dresden. From November 15, 2024 to February 28, 2025, //DataSpaces can be visited in the foyer of the Andreas Pfitzmann Building. The exhibition is open to visitors from November 15th 2024 to February 28th 2025 in the foyer of the Andreas Pfitzmann Building.

The TU Dresden founds the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences to holistically and synergistically connect Dresden's research on digitization for and in all scientific fields. By integrating 8 departments and related topic clusters into one organization for digital sciences, the cross-disciplinary treatment of numerous scientific issues around digitization gains a new quality. As a crystallization point for innovation and interdisciplinarity, there are bridging functions and interfaces to all areas of the university.

As the first construction phase of the Lehmann Center of the TU Dresden, which will unite the ICT-oriented research, development and also service of the TU Dresden in the areas of hardware and software under one roof as a crystallization point and home of the CIDS, the Computer Center (LZR) was put into operation in May 2015 with the installation of the High Performance Computer / Storage Complex (HRSK-II). The LZR houses the central IT systems of the TU Dresden on more than 1200 square meters of computer room space next to the supercomputer. Currently, the office and research building for the CIDS is being built.

In March 2021, Prof. Dr. N. J. Lehmann would have celebrated his 100th anniversary. As pioneer of computer development, he is internationally regarded as a founder of the crossover science between mathematics and computer science. At TUD, his achievements are honored, among others, by the Lehmann Center, which has already made an important mark with the Computing Center (LZR) and wich will become home to the CIDS with the planned office building (LZB). The new building will also create exhibition opportunities for historical computing technology of the TU Dresden.
