Help needed: We are losing our office


We are finally in the process of incorporating the Digital Research Academy and just when we need it least, I get a notice that my office lease will be terminated by end of July...and with that we are losing the headquarters of the DRA.

Munich is a difficult city to find affordable offices, so I am hoping that you can help us.

I love my office. It not only comes with a stable internet connection, but also with nice office neighbors (who are also looking for a new space), a nice view into the trees, and it's neither too close to home nor too far a way.

My office is also the physical headquarters for the Digital Research Academy.

Now we are looking for something new, as our current office space will be repurposed. We have been looking for two weeks now, but small and affordable offices are difficult to find in Munich.

So, we need help: Do you know of any potential offices? Please send them our way!

What are we looking for?

  • Office in Munich, optimally in the west, south, or center.
  • <500€ per month, optimally including internet, heating, and electricity.
  • No furniture needed. I will bring my current stuff.
  • Open space or co-working is not an option as I have many calls and teach online courses.
  • We're happy to sublet and sharing a kitchen and bathroom with others would be a plus.
  • We receive almost no visitors, because we meet clients online or at their offices.
  • We need the office to be our business address, so a (shared) letter box would be required.

Any ideas? Let me know!

Thank you and all the best,

Heidi (and the DRA team)


P.S. The next newsletters will be sent out on Fridays again. I just felt like sending this out earlier was a good idea.

I am excited to share that the Digital Research Academy incorporation is almost done. We had our notary appointment last week, set up the bank account and are now waiting for the official registration of the DRA Digital Research Academy GmbH. I published my first post about the initial idea for the Digital Research Academy in May 2023. Now, just a year and a few months later, the Digital Research Academy is becoming not only an initiative but a company. Last week Joyce Kao, Melanie Imming and...

I am in the process of making my newsletter FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). Here's how. I am an advocate for Open Science. The FAIR priciples are very near and dear to my heart. I was excited when the Open Science folks at Jülich archived a bunch of my posts and gave them a persistent identifier (DOI, see archived posts here). This was exactly what I was still missing to make my posts more FAIR. However, I cannot expect them to take care of archiving all my posts and...

I get asked for career advice all the time (even though I am just figuring stuff out myself). Generally I try to help by listening and asking questions, but there is one thing that I tell everyone who wants to hear it: pick work where you like the people. How do you pick the research group you want to work with? My recommendation is to pick based on two things: Do you like the topics they work on? Do you get along with the people in the group (in particular your boss/supervisor)? The first is...
