A workshop offering hands-on experience with FAIR tools and practices.

Get a practice-oriented introduction to Research Data Management challenges faced by researches like Fiona!

The Summer School takes place from August 4th to 6th 2026 on-site in Aachen at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center (Seffenter Weg 23, 52074 Aachen).

Topics Included in the Summer School are:

  • Why RDM is important to your work
  • Documenting your experimental setup
  • Recording data using your phone as example
  • Metadata management using engineering terms
  • Simple data analysis using Jupyter Notebooks
  • Publishing your data for others to reuse it
  • Data archiving for long term availability

Participants will gain hands-on experience with FAIR tools, concepts, and best practices to enable transparent, reusable, and verifiable research. We will provide a comprehensive introduction with practical exercises and our experimental case for FAIR data management, demonstrating the application of software, concepts and best practice from NFDI4ING & DKZ.2R beginning with the planning of an experiment to the publication of data and results.
