In this report, we look back on the last Meeting of the RDM Network on March 19, 2025: Learn more about the RDM network, its vision and the future development of the RDM network meetings at RWTH Aachen University. We also share the highlights of our Data Stewards and network members that they experienced during the E-Science Days 2025 in Heidelberg.

After the first day of the E-Science Days 2025 offered exciting insights into various aspects of research data management, the second day focussed on practical solutions, sustainable storage strategies and agile development processes. The day began with a keynote speech by Susanna Weber and then offered a varied programme of specialist presentations and discussions on current challenges and innovative developments in RDM.

The E-Science Days 2025 took place in Heidelberg from March 12 to March 14, 2025 under the motto ‘Research Data Management: Challenges in a Changing World’. The event offered both online and face-to-face participation and served as an interdisciplinary platform for dialogue on research data management (RDM) and open science.
The diverse programme included many different formats such as lectures, lightning talks, poster sessions and workshops. The keynote speeches and the panel discussion, which highlighted current topics such as ensuring data quality, challenges in data publication and the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in RDM, attracted particular attention.
In this blog series, we take you on a journey through three eventful days, which the RDM team at RWTH Aachen University was able to experience intensively.

Digitalization and the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly changing the world of scientific publishing. Large Language Models (LLMs), which open up new perspectives and possibilities for scientific communication, are a central topic in this change. How these technologies can shape the future of scientific publishing will be intensively discussed in the upcoming workshop on February 11, 2025 in Frankfurt am Main.

The RDM team from RWTH Aachen University was represented at the International Congress on Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)! Well, at least partially: we were represented there by members of the Materials Science and Engineering Consortium of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI-MatWerk for short) of the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. We have recorded our impressions of the MSE Congress in this article.
Asynchronous Tracking and Description of Research Data Changes in Distributed Systems With Interoperable Metadata

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.

Congratulations to the three basic service initiatives Jupyter4NFDI, DMP4NFDI and KGI4NFDI, which received approval for a one-year initialization phase from the consortium meeting of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in April 2024. DMP4NFDI is another basic service for consortia based at RWTH Aachen University.
