They also had the opportunity to pick up flyers and small giveaways.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the RWTH RDM team held personal discussions and provided insights into the various RDM services offered by RWTH. Posters showed interested visitors how the Coscine platform helps researchers better manage, secure, and make their data available for future projects in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the available information, there was a Coscine and RDM quiz where participants could test their knowledge and learn new things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Highlights of RWTHtransparent 2026<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The stage program once again offered exciting insights into current developments at RWTH. One topic was the Excellence Strategy, which took a lot of effort and time in 2025 but paid off with the funding of three clusters of excellence: CARE (Climate-Neutral and Resource-Efficient Construction), FSC\u00b2 (Integrated Fuel &amp; Chemical Science Center), and ML4Q (Matter and Light for Quantum Computing). Other highlights of the event included RWTH reviews of 2025 in pictures, the founding of the Faculty of Computer Science, the new \u201cPrimary School Teaching\u201d degree program, and various award ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>As always, guests had the opportunity to explore current RWTH projects focusing on teaching and research and exchange ideas about the university&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8315\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8315\" class=\"wp-image-8315 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"People standing in front of the RDM\/Coscine booth at RWTHtransparent\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2026\/02\/IMG_5130-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: RDM Team RWTH Aachen University<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This year&#8217;s RWTHtransparent was all about innovation and exchange.
