The guiding theme of INFORMATIK 2022 is "Informatics in the Natural Sciences" and focuses on the synergies of the various natural science disciplines with informatics. Natural sciences observe and fathom nature through empiricism and experiments in order to make it understandable and usable. Computer science plays a special role in this by enabling complex analyses and predictions and by processing, managing and visualizing large amounts of data. On the one hand, the natural sciences use computer science as a tool, on the other hand, nature is a model and source of inspiration in the various areas of computer science.
