On the 11th and 12th of September the RWTH Aachen is hosting the third Data Stewardship goes Germany event. The event was founded by TU9, an alliance of leading technical universities in Germany as a networking workshop for participants working in Research Data Management in Science and Technology. This year’s event is focused on the participants and their networks regarding Data Stewardship. As DKZ.2R we are offering different consulting-services and support structures for scientists working with research data. We are therefore very happy to be taking part in the DsgG workshop and connect with other people involved in supporting scientists in their work with ever-increasing amounts of data.

Documentation From User Experience

This post is a condensed version of a talk at our Data Compentcy College

If you regularly use scientific software written by others, or tried to replicate interesting research that relies on software, you have probably also invested weeks of work to solve a software problem or even given up on a software because of missing documentation. Finding a project that might be the solution to your problem and then failing to run the code is frustrating. Being unable to run a project you have built yourself years ago is even worse. Having experienced all those setbacks myself in the past I want to use this post to channel that frustration to fuel solutions for better documentation for our current and future projects.

Status Meeting of the German Data Literacy Centers

From September 19th to 20th the BMBF is inviting representatives of all eleven Data Literacy Centers in Germany to come together in Berlin and discuss the progress and the difficulties of the projects. There will be two days of workshops with topics ranging from discussions of domain-specific data literacy to strategies and concept for stabilizing data literacy projects. Furthermore, there will be plenty of time for networking with the other Data literacy centers, as well as invited speakers from other data literacy and research data management initiatives such as the NFDI. Our main coordinator, Alicia Janz, and Lukas Bossert from RWTH Aachen University will represent the DKZ.2R at the meeting. We are looking forward to gaining insights into the work of other data literacy centers and learning from their experiences and the measures they are taking to support scientist in their work with research data.
