Oct282025
12:30 – 5 p.m. incl. 30 min coffee break
Location: Forschungszentrum Jülich

A workshop on research data management

A scientist’s greatest treasure is his/her research data. In this interactive workshop, we will open this treasure chest and explore together the most important principles of good research data management. You will learn why and how the careful management and publication of your data can benefit you and your future research life. To do this, we will give you an overview of the key RDM concepts that are important in your field and look at what measures can help you realise the full potential of research data throughout your research project.

In doing so, we will keep in mind the specifics of research data from the field of agricultural systems and give you an indication of which tools and services are available to you in this area. We will give you an insight into FAIRagro’s work on a data infrastructure that can make agricultural research data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR).
