Successful Research Networks: Growing Together with Data

Research Data Day takes place every year on the second Tuesday in November. It is a campaign organized across the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) dedicated to the topic of research data management (RDM). The motto of what will be the 4th Research Data Day in NRW is "Into the data garden: make your research bloom". The state initiative fdm.nrw is organizing an online programme (in German) in the morning, which we will follow in the lecture theatre of the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI). After having lunch together in the Seecasino, the local afternoon programme (in English) will begin under the tagline "Successful research networks: growing together with data". We will focus on the support offered by scientific networks in the field of RDM and data science from the Jülich–Aachen region. They will present their tools or services with a focus on dialogue and small hands-on sessions. Participants can get to know two of the following networks in more detail:


• de.KCD: Weathering the Storm: Managing Research Data in the Cloud
• DKZ.2R: Reducing Data-Related Hurdles in Research
• HDS-LEE: Data Intensive Workflows in Science
• HMC: Organizing Your Software Metadata with Somesy and FAIR Python Cookiecutter


The afternoon programme will end with an open exchange accompanied by drinks and biscuits. All participants have the opportunity to actively participate in the event with their own poster on RDM and data science offers or the design of a topic table on their own RDM issues. Please contact the organizational team (see contact) in advance to discuss the details.
