On November 10, 2026, the RWTH FDM team, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the Data Competence Center DKZ.2R are jointly hosting a diverse and inspiring information event for researchers at SuperC under the theme “Set off on Your Journey: Pleasant travels with your data.”

Discover practical tools, helpful services, and proven methods to support you through the various phases of your research project. Data stewards, the FDM team, and colleagues with FDM experience at RWTH and FZJ will answer your questions and share their real-world experiences.

Look forward to live demonstrations of RDM tools, one-on-one consultations, and helpful take-home materials. The event will cover the following topics:

• Funding requirements and grant proposals
• Storing, structuring, and versioning data
• Metadata and semantic technologies
• Documenting research processes with electronic lab notebooks (ELNs)
• Licensing and publishing data and software

Get inspired and learn how good research data management supports your research journey: The Captain’s Talk contextualizes the importance of research data management and provides guidance on the RDM services available at RWTH Aachen University and the Jülich Research Center. The research journey report details the challenges, considerations, and lessons learned on the path to a useful data publication. You’ll also learn how these experiences contribute to improved research data management and make work easier in future projects.

Registration is available through the event database.
