How can research data from the materials sciences and materials engineering be made FAIR and reused over the long term? NFDI-MatWerk addresses this question. In the first post in our series on the consortia from the second round of NFDI funding involving RWTH, we introduce NFDI-MatWerk and highlight the role RWTH plays in it, what was achieved during the first funding phase, and the key objectives for the second funding phase.

When transitioning from one phase of the research process to the next, researchers often encounter media gaps. For example, when they have finalized their data management plan (DMP) in RDMO and want to create a corresponding Coscine project for data storage and management. Until now, the project metadata had to be transferred manually for this purpose. Through an incubator with DMP4NFDI, RDMO has now learned to communicate with Coscine and transfer the metadata directly. This blog post explains exactly how this works and what requirements must be met.

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.

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.

Congratulations to the three basic service initiatives Jupyter4NFDI, DMP4NFDI and KGI4NFDI, which received approval for a one-year initialization phase from the consortium meeting of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in April 2024. DMP4NFDI is another basic service for consortia based at RWTH Aachen University.
