You want to know more about Research Data Management at RWTH Aachen University? In this article you will learn general information about RDM and how you can keep up to date about news, new developments and events.

A Brief Introduction

Research data management, RDM for short, is the systematic handling of research data throughout the entire data lifecycle, from collection, through analysis and further processing of the data, to archiving and publication. In this context, RDM encompasses all methods and procedures that researchers can use to utilize and secure research data in the long term and to ensure that no valuable data is lost.

The services offered by RDM are particularly relevant for researchers and doctoral students. This is because RDM makes up a significant part of the research process. The goal of RDM is to make data optimally prepared and accessible for people and machines in accordance with the FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-Usable).
