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.

On the occastion of Research Data Day in North Rhine-Westphalia (TdF) on November 18, 2025, we would like to give you a 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”. Join us on TdF, engage in dialogue with the contributors and enjoy networking opportunities with other active RDM members!

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.
RDM Platform Coscine – More Than Free Quota
Source: Coscine
On 25 August 2025, an online workshop on Coscine will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The research data platform supports researchers in managing their data in a structured manner, creating projects and storing data securely – and much more than just storage space.
In the workshop, which is part of the modular advanced training series RDM II, participants will learn in a practical way how they can use Coscine to make research data findable, accessible and sustainable in accordance with the FAIR criteria (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
The workshop is aimed at doctoral candidates, postdocs and research assistants who would like to deepen their knowledge of research data management.
Prerequisite is basic knowledge of research data management, which can be acquired, for example, in the Moodle course ‘Research Data Management – an Overview (RDM I – online)’.
Participation is free of charge. Registration is via the RWTH Single Sign-On or externally. The access link will be sent by email approximately three days before the event begins.
Accessibility is guaranteed. If you require assistance, please contact veranstaltungsmanagementpe@rwth-aachen.de.
Further information about the event can be found on the RDM website of RWTH Aachen University.
