<\/a>Source: Freepik<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n 2024 was another exciting year for research data management (RDM). At RWTH Aachen University and beyond, numerous events, new initiatives and exciting developments have further advanced RDM. It was a year full of innovations, challenges and inspiring encounters. Let’s take a look at the highlights of the past year!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n From February 12 to 16, 2024, it was all about Love Data Week. During this week, the topics surrounding the importance of research data and its responsible use were discussed intensively. Researchers from all disciplines came together to expand their knowledge and share best practices in the field of data management.<\/p>\n A particular highlight was the presentation \u201cFAIR Data Is My Kind of Data \u2013 Coscine Introduces Itself!<\/a>\u201d on February 16, 2024, which introduced the RDM platform Coscine and how it supports researchers in managing their data according to the FAIR principles. The presentation not only gave a comprehensive insight into the existing functions of Coscine, but also offered exciting prospects for future developments of the platform.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The RDM Toolbox 2024<\/a>, which took place from March 18 to 20 at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University, brought together practitioners and experts from all over the world. In a practice-oriented atmosphere, the participants were able to dive deep into the challenges of RDM and develop solutions that optimize data organization and availability. The interactive exchange ensured a lively discussion and strengthened the network of the RDM community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A user survey on Coscine<\/a> was conducted for the first time at the end of April. The survey gave Coscine users the opportunity to give their feedback on the platform and share their satisfaction with the Coscine team regarding reliability, performance, documentation, support and much more. The results of the survey were very valuable and most of the feedback has already been implemented.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first advanced user group meeting of Coscine.nrw<\/a> also took place in April. In addition to information about the user group and current developments at Coscine, participants were able to share their experiences with Coscine in an interactive group session and also elect the advisory board. The meeting was a complete success thanks to the active participation and valuable input of the participants. Planning for another user meeting in 2025 is already in full swing. More information about the meeting will soon be available on the Coscine<\/a> website.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A real milestone was the introduction of the new RDM guideline at RWTH Aachen University<\/a> on June 18, 2024. This guideline provides clear guidelines for the management and handling of research data and contributes to the establishment of a sustainable data culture. Researchers now have clear guidelines on how to manage their data efficiently and secure it in the long term – an important step towards better data quality and use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On September 5, 2024, young academics met at the RWTH Young Academics Day<\/a>. The event<\/a> provided a valuable platform for young researchers to get to know RWTH’s services better and discuss the challenges of handling research data. In dialog with the experts from the RDM team, the participants gained valuable insights and practical tips and were able to put their RDM knowledge to the test in a Coscine crossword puzzle and an RDM quiz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Home game for Aachen! This year’s Data Stewardship goes Germany<\/a> (DSgG) workshop took place at RWTH Aachen University from September 11 to 12, 2024 and highlighted the increasingly important role of data stewards in the research environment. In total, over 70 participants from all over Germany took part in the event<\/a>. Best practices from the field and discussions about the latest trends and technologies made this event an important source of inspiration for the German research landscape. Next year, the TU9<\/a> workshop will take place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology<\/a> (KIT).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On November 12, 2024, the Research Data Day<\/a> (RDD) took place for the fourth time in NRW and was, as always, an absolute highlight in the field of RDM. Under the motto \u201cInto the data garden\u201d, experts and researchers from NRW met to discuss the latest developments in research data management. Once again this year, Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich (FZK) and RWTH Aachen University cooperated and organized a joint afternoon program in J\u00fclich. The day was filled with exciting presentations and lively discussions at various themed tables, which led to many new ideas on how research data can be used even more efficiently and secured in the long term.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The time had finally come at the end of November. The long-awaited registration of Coscine as a word mark<\/a> in Germany and the EU was completed. The registration of Coscine as a word mark not only strengthens the identity of the platform, but also protects its quality and sustainability in the long term. We are delighted about this milestone and look forward to further successes that Coscine will achieve together with the community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The year 2024 was full of inspiring events and developments in the field of research data management. We look forward to accompanying you again in 2025 with exciting topics and new events. Here’s to another exciting year full of new and interesting innovations in RDM!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Responsible for the content of this article are Hania Eid<\/a>, Lina-Louise Kaulbach<\/a> and Arlinda Ujkani<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This entry is only available in Deutsch.
