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.

From March 26 to 28, 2025, the first DKZ.2R Data Competence College will take place at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. The event offers young scientists and researchers the opportunity to exchange ideas with data experts and acquire valuable skills in dealing with research data.
You can look forward to exciting keynotes, interactive workshops, individual 1:1 sessions with experts and the opportunity to present your own research work in a poster session.
Registration is possible until March 5, 2025 using the form provided. Secure your place now!
More information about the event can be found on the DKZ.2R website.
Python Workshop
From March 17 to 18, 2025, from 9am to 5pm each, a practical Python workshop will take place in Aachen, organized by NFDI4Microbiota and the Rhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy (DKZ.2R). This workshop is aimed at PhD students and researchers who want to expand their programming skills. The event provides an introduction to Python 3, including working with variables, data types, pandas for data analysis and Matplotlib for visualizations.
Participants will learn not only programming basics, but also practical applications for their research. The workshop fosters a collaborative learning environment and is open to all interested parties, although members of the DKZ.2R and NFDI4Microbiota consortium have priority registration.
Requirements: Participants must bring a laptop with Mac, Linux or Windows operating system (no tablets or Chromebooks) with administrative privileges and install specific software packages listed here.

Research Data Management Education – Optimize Your Research Data Management!

The amount of data generated is growing rapidly, and is the need to efficiently manage, share, and preserve it for the long term. Effective Research Data Management (RDM) ensures that your research results are traceable and can be used by other scientists.
RDM is an integral part of good scientific practice and can have a significant impact on the success of your projects. To support you in this important area, RWTH Aachen University offers a flexible continuing education program in RDM.
Fall In Love With Coscine – Love Data Week 2025

From February 10 to 14, 2025, the Love Data Week (LDW) will be celebrated across Germany – the perfect opportunity to finally give our secret passion for research data the shine it deserves. Under the motto “Whose Data Is It, Anyway?”, this year is all about questioning the control over our data with a pinch of curiosity. As in previous years, Coscine will once again be taking part – this year with two workshops!
Workshop: Large Language Models and the Future of Scientific Publishing – Register Now!

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.
This Was the Data Stewardship Goes Germany Workshop 2024

This year’s TU9 workshop for data stewards took place from September 11 to 12, 2024 at RWTH Aachen University. The two-day workshop provided an opportunity to exchange ideas on research data management in science and technology, with a particular focus on the role of data stewards. In this article we look back on two successful and instructive days.
Metadata Basics and Creating Application Profiles for Coscine

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.

Data Stewardship goes Germany 2024
The Data Stewardship goes Germany (DSgG) 2024 workshop offers data stewardship and data management professionals an excellent opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing. The workshop includes exciting presentations, poster sessions and interactive discussions on current topics in data management, security and use.
The aim is to share best practices and highlight new developments in data stewardship. For more information, please visit the event page.

Research data management (RDM) is an essential part of modern science and research. In order to optimally prepare researchers at RWTH Aachen University for the challenges of handling research data, we offer the RDM II compact workshop once a year. This one-day hands-on workshop takes place on site at the University Library and is aimed at anyone who would like to deepen their knowledge of research data management.
