RDM Workshop

The RDM Workshop is a multi-day event where participants work together on RDM tools and discover new features and application scenarios: from eLabFTW to Coscine and DataLab to LiaScript - in community-led sessions in English, participants can try out and exchange ideas.

The third RDM workshop is being held in cooperation with the state initiative fdm.nrw, the ULB Münster, and the NFDI4BIOIMAGE. Until January 17th 2025, interested parties can submit their abstracts. More information regarding the application requirements are provided on this website. The DKZ.2R is looking forward to seein you at the RDM Workshop in Münster!

Tired of Recreating someone else’s work? - How Open Science can accelerate research and overcome reinvention

Have you ever found papers on algorithms but their implementation is missing? Found an interesting analysis but there is no way to check the results, as you don’t have access to the data they were derived from? Ever thought you had a great idea for a project, just to find out a year later that you are not the only research group following that specific idea? Not having access to other people’s code, data, metrics or even their plans for research projects often leads to unnecessary delays and scientific redundancies. There is an easy solution to overcome (almost) all of these issues. It’s called Open Science! What is Open Science? The UNESCO defines Open Science as a construct of “movements and practices aiming to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors […]”. To ensure that everyone has access to scientific knowledge and infrastructure, Open Science focuses on four main concepts.
