The breakout of the corona pandemic has presented us with new challenges not only in our private and professional lives, but also in the organisation and the conduct of teaching and research. There was a considerable, albeit unplanned surge in digitalisation. The RDM Team at RWTH Aachen University also had to adapt and make adjustments, especially with regard to events and workshops. Meanwhile, two years have passed and it is time to take stock. Was the changeover successful?

At the German Research Foundation (DFG), the topic of research data management (FDM) is becoming increasingly important. When preparing a proposal, you should therefore consider FDM at an early stage. This does not have to be a lot of work. What is crucial is that you reflect once on what research data you will use and how you will process it. In this article we would like to inform you about the new DFG templates.

The time will soon come again: the next open meeting of the RDM network will take place online via Zoom on April 13, 2022. This time, RDM managers and data stewards can look forward to two topics. The next meeting will focus on a presentation of the KNIME software and an introduction to dependency analysis of research data at the IoP using GitLab.
RDM explained – How to Validate Data?

As part of good scientific practice, research data should be stored for up to 10 years. In addition, more and more funding agencies expect information on where the collected data is stored. However, it is neither technically nor economically possible to store all data collected during a research project. Accordingly, it is necessary to carry out a data evaluation after a project has been completed. This forms the basis for deciding which data should or must be archived. Our new blog post gives a first insight into what should be considered when validating data.
Data.rwth Teaching Competition – Designing Teaching Materials for Data Literacy
Teaching data literacy to students – this is what the team of the data.RWTH data literacy project is working on. In the data.RWTH teaching competition, all RWTH members now have the chance to actively shape the basic data literacy modules by producing teaching videos as well as exercise and examination materials, and at the same time receive an attractive grant of eight times 10,000€. You still have until March 15, 2022 to apply! In this blog post, you will learn the most important facts in brief.

The RDM Team invited to the second open meeting of the Research Data Management (RDM) network this year on February 9, 2022 online via Zoom. The two originally planned presentations had to be cancelled due to illness, but the RDM team showed spontaneity and presented the plans for the new FDM continuing education concept at RWTH to the data stewards, RDM officers and RDM interested parties.

On January 12, 2022, the first open meeting of the RDM network took place online via Zoom this year. The aim of these gatherings is to enable an exchange of frequently asked questions and best practices from RDM and to build a coordinated network at RWTH Aachen University. This time, the RDM team, together with the data stewards, RDM officers and RDM interested parties at RWTH, took a closer look at how the Research Data Management Organiser (RDMO) works.

In this article, we would like to inform you about the recently published Funding Atlas of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the key figures on publicly funded research in Germany. Published only every three years, this report is considered and serves as a “long-term observation of the German research landscape.” In this latest edition, the most recent decisions in the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) program also receive accentuated consideration, and with it the role of RWTH Aachen University.
ELN – Electronic Lab Notebooks – Information & More

Some time ago, in the blog post „Nutzen Sie schon ein elektronisches Laborbuch?” (engl.: Do you already use an electronic lab notebook?) we reported on electronic lab notebooks and introduced you to the topic. Among other things, that post linked to an overview of the products available at the time. What has happened since then? Is there any news around ELNs for researchers and where can they get them? All of this will be covered in this blog post. You can also expect a listing of our previous posts on ELNs.
