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.

Meaningful and machine-readable metadata are a prerequisite for high-quality and sustainable research data that can be used effectively in line with FAIR principles. Without metadata, research data are worthless. Therefore, meaningful and machine-readable metadata are a prerequisite for high-quality and sustainable research data that can be used effectively. Furthermore, they are a core element of FAIR data (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
The research data management platform Coscine allows you to annotate research data with metadata that is suitable for your research. Coscine already provides you with basic application profiles for this purpose. In this workshop, you will learn how to extend these profiles or create your own ones with the help of the Metadata Profile Generator in Coscine.
This event is part of a series of in-depth modules on research data management (FDM 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.

In this article, we would like to draw your attention to the Rat für Informationsinfrastrukturen (RfII). Based in Göttingen, the RfII has been initiating strategic processes since 2014 and is concerned with the entire scientific system as well as with questions relating to the further development of information infrastructures. The RfII regularly issues recommendations on research data management (RDM). The RfII mailing list allows you to stay up to date on the latest developments.

On September 5, 2024, it was that time again: the RWTH Young Academics Day (YAD) for young academics took place in the SuperC of RWTH Aachen University. PhD students and postdocs at RWTH were invited to network, exchange ideas and reflect on their own career paths and decisions through inspiring lectures, as well as to be inspired by the services offered by RWTH. The RDM team from RWTH was also there to present the services of research data management (RDM) at the “marketplace”.

Metadata is crucial for the organization and management of research data. It plays a central role in ensuring the traceability and reusability of scientific results by documenting detailed information about the methods, parameters and tools used. Systematic collection and maintenance of metadata from the beginning of a research project is therefore essential to ensure the quality and long-term usability of the data.

In the world of digital research, there are many different ways of storing data. But how can research data be managed in a way that makes it accessible and usable for everyone who should have access to it? In this blog post, we look at how we can tackle this challenge by introducing a method to fill in missing information about the origin of data. This approach is intended to make it easier to find and use research data – in line with the FAIR Principles.
