Brief Insights Into the Lightning Talks
The poster session was followed by the Lightning Talks, in which various projects and innovative approaches from different universities and colleges throughout Germany were presented. Among other things, the topics included the development of a central dissertation data archive and the use of semantic metadata modeling. The lightning talk “Perplexity-inspired metasearch-based alternatives to FAIR GPT”, which dealt with open-source alternatives to commercial AI-supported consulting models, attracted particular interest.
Panel Discussion: The Future of Research Data Management
A central topic of the concluding panel discussion was the sustainable financing and future securing of skilled workers in research data management. The participants in the discussion emphasized that interdisciplinary cooperation, political support and clear institutional strategies are necessary to establish RDM solutions in the long term.
Conclusion
The last day of the E-Science Days 2025 once again showed how essential interdisciplinary exchange and close cooperation between science, infrastructure operators and political actors are. In particular, the topic of sustainable RDM and the development of innovative open science solutions were discussed intensively. The conference once again made it clear that a sustainable and future-oriented research data strategy can only be realized through joint commitment and targeted investments in data stewardship and technological infrastructures.
We look back with great enthusiasm on inspiring days full of exciting lectures, stimulating discussions and valuable new contacts. It was a great pleasure for us to be part of this lively and forward-looking event. The exchange with so many dedicated experts not only enriched us professionally, but also showed us how important a shared vision is for sustainable science.
We look forward to further developments and to the next E-Science Days in 2027!
