Research Data Management Education – Optimize Your Research Data Management!
The amount of data generated is growing rapidly, and is the need to efficiently manage, share, and preserve it for the long term. Effective Research Data Management (RDM) ensures that your research results are traceable and can be used by other scientists.
RDM is an integral part of good scientific practice and can have a significant impact on the success of your projects. To support you in this important area, RWTH Aachen University offers a flexible continuing education program in RDM.
Data Stewards at RWTH Aachen – Interview With Kseniia Dukkart
Today, we would like to follow up on the series “What does a data steward actually do?” with a new interview under the title “Data Stewards at RWTH Aachen – Interview With […]”. You can find the previous interviews on the RDM blog.
