This article is part of our series “Data Champions at RWTH”. Data Champions are researchers or employees who have excelled in the field of research data management (RDM) and/or have experience that is groundbreaking for colleagues or can serve as a guide.
Our first Data Champion is Prof. Dr. med. Carolin Victoria Schneider. She works at RWTH University Hospital and was named Young Scientist of the Year 2023 by academics. We spoke to Ms. Schneider about her connection to and interest in Research Data Management.

We are pleased to present to you – as researchers at RWTH Aachen University – our new series of articles in which we have collected all the information on RWTH’s central RDM services for efficient research data management (RDM). These RDM services are managed by RWTH staff and service managers and are available for you to use.
In the coming weeks, you can look forward to a compact article on each service and get comprehensive information.

In this blog post, we inform you about the origin and meaning of the so-called FAIR principles and place the term in the broader context of modern data management.
Mastering RDM – Learning Opportunities at the RWTH

In complex research processes, it is crucial to maintain an overview of research data and develop effective data management strategies. In addition to RDM tools and services, RWTH Aachen University therefore also offers its researchers courses and workshops on research data management (RDM) in order to develop skills in this important area.
The RDM team relies on blended learning, which combines traditional classroom teaching with digital learning methods. The basics are taught in year-round RWTHmoodle courses, which can be completed at any time and at your own pace through self-study. Building on this, what has been learned can be tested, discussed and deepened in regular workshops. In this blog post, you can get an overview of the RWTH’s RDM continuing education offers.

Research without digital data has long since become unthinkable. Many different tools and programs are sometimes used to collect, process and organize data. The programs differ not only due to different subject areas and data types, but also with regard to the respective phase within the research data life cycle: starting with data collection, through its cleansing and analytical processing, to the publication-ready output of the data including documentation.
RDM explained – How Do I Organise My data?

“No one has the time to tidy up, but everyone has the time to search” – this dilemma, as described by efficiency expert Jürgen Kurz, is probably familiar to many. And when dealing with research data, many researchers and scientists are also faced with the challenge of storing their research data in such a way that it is structured, documented and secured for subsequent use. After all, the work done in advance saves us a lot of nerves, time and effort in retrospect. In this article, we would like to give you some helpful tips on data organization.

The official second toolbench for Research Data Management (RDM) will take place from 18 to 20 March 2024 at RWTH Aachen University!
The RDM toolbench is a solution-orientated workshop format in which the participants work together on site over several days to develop tools and their own RDM solutions. They learn from each other and with each other. The level ranges from introductory and basic formats to in-depth coding sessions.
What: Community workshop “RDM Toolbench””
When: 18 to 20 March 2024
Where: RWTH Aachen University (tba)
