The DESY GO Portal can be accessed via https://go.desy.de

The GO Portal is only accessible from the DESY-Intranet and if required via VPN or SSH-Tunnel from outside.

Please log on with your (primary)  DESY account and password.

Before you can use processes like the request for holiday in the portal, it is required that your DESY account is mapped securely and without any doubt to the data stored in the SAP system by the HR department V2.

Therefore it is necessary for you to register here and enter your date of birth. Activation of the DESY GO Portal follows the successful match of this data to the SAP. The confirmation of your account can take an entire day.

In case your password is expired, please contact the UCO or the Namespace Administrator of your group.

if you do not have a DESY-Account, please contact the Namespace Supervisor of your group.

In case logon is unsuccessful, please contact the UCO.
