How can data management planning and research data management be more closely integrated without duplicating form filling, copying, and manual transfers? This is precisely where a new incubator comes in: Coscine and RDMO are being technically linked for the first time. Together with DMP4NFDI, an interface is being developed over six months that will simplify workflows and merge processes. Find out what this will look like in this article.
FDM-Werkstatt 2026 – Contributions from RWTH
The next FDM-Werkstatt will take place in Düsseldorf from March 23 to 25, 2026, and will be conducted in English. This hands-on workshop is intended for researchers, data stewards, and others interested in gaining experience in research data management.

“Where is the data?” – This question was at the heart of Love Data Week 2026 and describes a challenge shared by many research projects. Research data is continuously generated, processed, shared, and archived. At the same time, there is a growing need to keep this data findable, traceable, and usable in the long term. With a presentation and a workshop during Love Data Week, Coscine showed how research data management can be implemented in practice in this area of tension.

The Love Data Week (LDW) is taking place again this year. Every February, this week of action focuses on the conscious, structured, and sustainable handling of research data. Under this year’s motto, “Where’s the Data?”, the entire life cycle of data is considered, from planning, collection, and analysis to publication, archiving, and reuse.
RWTH Aachen University is also celebrating the Love Data Week 2026 with its own contributions. In this blog post, we present the events that will be offered at RWTH during the campaign week.
RDM in North Rhine-Westphalia – Coscine Establishes Itself Statewide
The research data management platform Coscine is becoming increasingly important: as of January 2026, 13 universities have already signed contracts to use it. Coscine is thus laying the foundation for FAIR data storage at universities and offering researchers a practical solution.
Coscine as Part of the Fidelis Network – For a European Open Science Community
In an increasingly digitized research landscape, the establishment of trustworthy digital repositories is becoming increasingly important in order to promote sustainable and open science. This is precisely what the FIDELIS network is pursuing with the aim of establishing a Europe-wide network of these repositories.
Third Advanced User Meeting of Coscine.nrw
Research data management faces the challenge of designing effective and user-friendly processes that meet the needs of different disciplines. How can the requirements in Coscine for storage space requests in the Coscine JARDS review process be optimized to ensure both quality and efficiency? This is precisely where the third user meeting of Coscine.nrw comes in. In this follow-up report, we summarize the most important topics and results of the meeting and provide insights into the discussions, group work, and future steps to improve the range of services.
Coscine at CoRDI 2025
Coscine was also represented with a poster at this year’s Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI). The poster showcased Coscine’s participation in the European FAIR-IMPACT Support program, which assists research data infrastructures in implementing the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). In this article, you will find all the information you need about Coscine and the FAIR-IMPACT Support program.
