The goal of the "Data Hub and Simulation Model" project is to create a central, higher-level and digital MCube representation consisting of a holistic simulation model and a central data hub for deriving, evaluating, documenting and publishing data, measures and results from MCube and connected data sources. The simulation model and data hub, as outputs of the project, fulfill important tasks within the cluster, both individually and in combination. The overall simulation model provides a central platform for the integration of sub-models from the MCube innovation projects and thus enables a simultaneous and interactive consideration of measures and their effects within a common simulation environment. The data hub serves as an integration layer for all data sets relevant in MCube and standardizes data exchange formats, interfaces and accesses so that input and output data for investigations within the MCube innovation projects - during and after the cluster project - are available in a comprehensible and uniform manner. The integration of the data hub and simulation model thus creates a digital image of the future cluster, which supports the activities of the innovation projects during the project period and makes knowledge and findings accessible and usable beyond the funding period. The results of this integration project can be used during and beyond the project for public relations and information as well as for communication and documentation of research results. In addition, the resulting data basis and the integrated overall model can provide important inputs for follow-up research and serve as a craft basis for further investigations in the context of any follow-up funding in the Future Cluster Competition.
