Source: NFDI-MatWerk
From April 8 to 10, 2025, the NFDI-MatWerk Spring School will take place at the IT Center in Kopernikusstraße at RWTH Aachen University. Organized by the NFDI-MatWerk consortium in cooperation with renowned partners such as Forschungszentrum Jülich and various RWTH institutes, the event is aimed at doctoral students, postdocs and advanced master’s students in the fields of materials science and engineering.
Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of digitization solutions and research data management, learn how to effectively organize, store and share data, and exchange ideas with experts.
Registration is open until March 15, 2025, although the number of participants is limited. The “first come, first served” principle applies. Registration for the event is possible via the website of the European School of Materials (EUSMAT). Further information can be found on the RDM blog.

Digitalization and the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly changing the world of scientific publishing. Large Language Models (LLMs), which open up new perspectives and possibilities for scientific communication, are a central topic in this change. How these technologies can shape the future of scientific publishing will be intensively discussed in the upcoming workshop on February 11, 2025 in Frankfurt am Main.

This year’s NFDI-MatWerk Summer School took place from September 10 to 12, 2024 at the Leibniz-Institut für Werkstofforientierte Technologien (IWT) in Bremen. The offer was met with great interest. Katharina Grünwald from the RDM team at RWTH Aachen University also attended the Summer School. We have summarised our impressions in this report.
Tombstones: When Research Data Disappears but Is Not Forgotten

Happy Halloween! Have you ever heard of “tombstones”? We have put together a special and mystical article for you to mark the spooky holiday of the year. The digital world offers us enormous opportunities, but what happens when research data is deleted? Is it lost forever? This is where the idea of “tombstones” comes into play – an elegant solution to make the disappearance of research data more transparent.
Into the Data Garden!

Let your research bloom! On the second Tuesday in November, the fourth “Research Data Day” will take place in North Rhine-Westphalia – a state-wide day of action on research data management. On November 12, 2024, everything will revolve around a blooming “data garden” in which Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University invite all researchers and those interested in RDM to Jülich for networking!
Automating (Meta)Data Transfer to Coscine

If you attended our courses on the research data management platform Coscine and Metadata, you know we need to securely store our data and annotate them with meaningful metadata and that Coscine can help you here. You probably also know doing that by hand can be tedious. Let’s automate it!
In this course, we will use a Jupyter Notebook to create Python script for automated data transfer in a step-by-step process. We will interact with the Coscine projects and resources using the Coscine Python SDK. In the end, you will have the foundations to create your own scripts to automate your data workflows, enabling you to transfer data and metadata from a local computer or server to Coscine.
This event is part of a series of in-depth modules on research data management (RDM II – modular). The basics on research data management are covered by the Moodle course “Überblick zum Management von Forschungsdaten (FDM I-online)” / “Research Data Management – an Overview (RDM I – online)“. Please use this course as introduction to Research Data Management.

Research Data Day 2024 – Organized by Forschungszentrum Jülich & RWTH Aachen University
Source: fdm.nrw
On November 12, 2024, Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and RWTH Aachen University will host the 4th Day of Research Data in NRW, a full-day event on research data management (RDM) and data science. The morning program will be organized by the state initiative fdm.nrw and broadcast as an online program (in German) in the lecture hall of the PGI. In the afternoon, the focus will be on regional networks under the motto “Successful research networks: growing together with data” (in English). Tools and services in the field of RDM and data science will be presented in interactive and practical sessions. Participants can explore two of the following topics in depth:
- De.KCD: Research Data Management in the Cloud
- DKZ.2R: Reducing data-related hurdles in research
- HDS-LEE: Data-intensive workflows in science
- HMC: Organizing software metadata with Somesy and FAIR Python Cookiecutter
The afternoon program ends with a poster session and an open exchange over drinks and pastries, where participants can network and present their own projects. Registration for the event is possible via this link.

Contemporary research involves conscious research data management (RDM) with the aim of generating high-quality research data and keeping it sustainably (re)usable, i.e. findable, accessible and understandable (FAIR-criteria). The RDM platform Coscine – Collaborative Scientific Integration Environment—supports you in this and helps you meet the requirements of research funders and comply with Good Research Practice.
This event is part of a series of in-depth modules on RDM (FDM II – modular). The basics on RDM are covered by the Moodle course “Research Data Management – an Overview (RDM I – online)”. Please use this course as introduction to RDM.
Learn about the RDM platform Coscine with all its features. Understand how Coscine supports you in making research data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and in meeting the expectations of research funders.
