About Docata

In 2023, Docata was implemented sequentially in the faculties of the University of Hamburg. The IT system Docata meets the increased requirements for personal data management, the administration of doctoral processes, communication in doctoral procedures and legal requirements (e.g. University statistics).

For these tasks the software Docata 2.0 from Divinus Soft is in use.

Doctoral candidates and doctoral researchers use Docata for online applications and get access to important information and documents about their doctoral procedures.

Reviewers and members of the examination commissions use Docata to recieve informations about the examination procedures and gain access to documents, e.g. the electronic version of the dissertation. Find more information here.

The faculties at University of Hamburg are responsible for the administration of doctoral procedures.

The Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences uses until further notice the platform Docata-min https://docata.min.uni-hamburg.de.

Advantages for administration of doctoral procedures are:

  • Support of administrative processes for doctoral procedures
  • Support in communication with doctoral students and reviewers
  • Support in reporting
  • Digital file management
  • Development of an interface to CampusNet (STiNE)
