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.<\/p>\n

Between Keynote, Talks, Poster & Canvas Sessions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nData Stewardship goes Germany (DSgG) 2024 kicked off at noon on September 11, 2024: Participants from all over Germany gathered for a light lunch and to get to know each other on the top floor of the SuperC at RWTH Aachen University, overlooking the imperial city.<\/p>\n
Dr. Dominik Schmitz, Head of Information Technology at the RWTH Aachen University Library, and Daniela Hausen, member of the TU9 Research Data Management Working Group and responsible for the program and organization of this year’s DSgG, welcomed the more than 70 participants who had travelled from near and far.<\/p>\n
This was followed by the keynote speech by Paula Oset Garcia<\/a> from the University of Ghent in Belgium, who talked about building a community of data stewards in Flanders and the FRDN Knowledge Center’s experience with the Community Canvas.<\/p>\nThe day included four more interesting talks of 20 minutes each, followed by Q&A sessions, two rounds of Minute Madness where participants who had prepared a poster briefly and concisely presented it to the audience, and two Community Canvas sessions. The Community Canvas is a community building tool. It is used to identify needs, wants and challenges and to find like-minded people.<\/p>\n
A summary of the talks and posters can be found in the conference proceedings of DSgG 2024<\/a>, which will be published soon. Due to the large number of posters submitted (28 in total), the poster sessions were spread over two days. The first day of the workshop ended with a dinner in a restaurant in Aachen.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
