On January 22, 2026, the RDM Network at RWTH Aachen University cordially invites you to the first network meeting of 2026. The event will take place online via Zoom and will begin at 10am.
At this meeting, Mario Moser (WZL / NFDI4Ing) will present the concept of “Data Mesh for RDM in the Engineering Sciences.” The focus will be on how a data-oriented infrastructure can be designed in the engineering sciences to make it easier to share, access, and reuse data. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for interactive exchange with the community.
- Date: Thursday, January 22, 2026
- Time: 10am – 11:30am
- Location: Online (Zoom)
- Registration: via Zoom
The RDM network meeting is aimed at researchers, data stewards, those interested in RDM, and anyone involved in research data management.
Take advantage of this opportunity to gather new ideas for your research data management, network with colleagues, and ask experts questions directly. We look forward to a lively exchange and exciting discussions!

2025 was another eventful year for research data management (RDM). At RWTH Aachen University and beyond, numerous events, new formats, and strategic developments shaped everyday life in RDM. Intensive exchange within the community, practical insights, and important milestones made 2025 a year full of momentum for a sustainable and FAIR-oriented data culture. Let’s take a look at the highlights of the past year.

On November 6, 2025 the RDM network visited the Clavel Lab to learn more about their research workflows and explore how a data steward can better support their data management needs. The visit offered a hands-on look at the lab’s instrumentation and the data challenges that come with it. A key focus of the exchange was the use of the electronic lab notebook (ELN) eLabJournal.

To celebrate NRW Research Data Day (TdF) on November 18, 2025, we would like to give you a sneak preview of our “RDM Practice” and “RDM Services” arenas. These are worth venturing into on the action day for research data management (RDM). This article provides an overview of the contribution by Fabian Fink (RWTH Aachen University) entitled “All Chemists publish FAIR data.”
Take part in TdF, engage in dialogue with the contributors, and take advantage of the opportunity to network with other RDM enthusiasts!

From August 26 to 28, 2025, the second Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI) 2025 took place at RWTH Aachen University. The conference was organized by the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in cooperation with the Chair of Intelligence in Quality Sensing WZL at RWTH and proved to be an extremely important event for many stakeholders in research data management (RDM) to come together. Under the motto “RDM in Action,” the focus was on the practical use of research data. In this blog post, we summarize the highlights of the RWTH’s RDM team and provide an insight into the event.

As part of its structural evaluation of the NFDI (National Research Data Infrastructure), the German Science and Humanities Council (Wissenschaftsrat) emphasized the urgent need for a consolidation phase to ensure the infrastructure’s sustainable development. The council is focusing on three main areas in particular: financing and basic services, governance structures, and an accompanying innovation program.
