On January 22, 2026, the RDM team welcomed the RDM community at RWTH Aachen University to the first RDM network meeting of the year. The monthly event takes place online or in person on the fourth Thursday of every month and offers anyone interested in RDM the opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss practical examples.
The January meeting focused on the presentation “Data Mesh for RDM in the Engineering Sciences” by Mario Moser from the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University. In his presentation, he provided exciting insights into his doctoral thesis topic and, as part of the NFDI4ING consortium, presented conceptual considerations and designs for the use of the data mesh approach in RDM in the engineering sciences.
