Since November 2021, the Chair of Architectural History at RWTH Aachen University, together with TU Berlin and FIZ Karlsruhe, has been developing a research data portal for building archaeology under the title baureka.online. But what exactly is baureka.online? What are the goals of this project and for which community is it intended? We would like to answer these and many other questions in this blog post.
Data.rwth Teaching Competition – Designing Teaching Materials for Data Literacy
Teaching data literacy to students – this is what the team of the data.RWTH data literacy project is working on. In the data.RWTH teaching competition, all RWTH members now have the chance to actively shape the basic data literacy modules by producing teaching videos as well as exercise and examination materials, and at the same time receive an attractive grant of eight times 10,000€. You still have until March 15, 2022 to apply! In this blog post, you will learn the most important facts in brief.

Research data are the raw material of research work and thus decisive for scientific progress. In order to derive the greatest possible benefit from the data, its accessibility and reusability is essential. They should therefore never be stored on a USB stick and disappear in a private drawer.

In this article, we would like to inform you about the recently published Funding Atlas of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the key figures on publicly funded research in Germany. Published only every three years, this report is considered and serves as a “long-term observation of the German research landscape.” In this latest edition, the most recent decisions in the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) program also receive accentuated consideration, and with it the role of RWTH Aachen University.
Workshop: FAIR Research Data Management: Basics for Chemists

Research data management (RDM) has both general and discipline-specific aspects. To support this, the University Library, together with the NFDI4Chem training team, offers a workshop “FAIR Research Data Management: Basics for Chemists”. Through short introductions and exercises on the different areas of FDM in chemistry, you will be able to reflect and optimize your own data management.
Look forward to learning about policy, data management plan, metadata, archiving and publishing research data in chemistry, as well as an introduction to NFDI4Chem services.
ELN – Electronic Lab Notebooks – Information & More

Some time ago, in the blog post „Nutzen Sie schon ein elektronisches Laborbuch?” (engl.: Do you already use an electronic lab notebook?) we reported on electronic lab notebooks and introduced you to the topic. Among other things, that post linked to an overview of the products available at the time. What has happened since then? Is there any news around ELNs for researchers and where can they get them? All of this will be covered in this blog post. You can also expect a listing of our previous posts on ELNs.

Die Getränke sind kaltgestellt und das Jahr 2021 neigt sich dem Ende zu – allerhöchste Zeit für den Jahresrückblick und die diesjährigen Höhepunkte im Bereich des Forschungsdatenmanagements.
2021 hat erneut gezeigt, dass das FDM von Jahr zu Jahr mehr Fahrt aufnimmt und sich dabei auch nicht von einer anhaltenden Pandemie bremsen lässt. Ganz im Gegenteil: Das digitale FDM-Angebot hat dadurch einen Aufschwung erlebt.
