Tag der Forschungsdaten in NRW Research Data Day
Since 2021, the state initiative for research data management fdm.nrw and the universities in Nort Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) have been organising an annual day of action for researchers in NRW to raise awareness of the aspects involved in handling research data and draw attention to current developments in research data management.
Below you can see the past programme for 2024. The current programme for 2025 will be uploaded to this page in due course.

SFB spokesperson Prof Dr von Keudell gives a look behind the scenes of the CRC 1316 and explains how FAIR research data is created in his project through organised research data management.
The INF project in the CRC 1316 aims at educating the researchers of the CRC regarding data storage awareness as well as contribution to a research data management. In addition, working groups were formed in coordination with the Plasma Physics Section of the German Physical Society to develop metadata standards for the individual scientific areas of CRC 1316. The presentation is intended to illustrate the various aspects of the activities of CRC 1316.
