FAIR & Reproducible Data: From Data Collection to Reusable Data and Reproducible Research – Hackathon
How is reproducible research created—and how can we tell whether it works?
This interdisciplinary hackathon for researchers and students focuses on FAIR data, research data management, and reproducibility.
Working in small groups, participants will collect their own data, document it according to FAIR principles, and consider reproducibility from the very beginning of the research process.
Afterward, groups will exchange their datasets, documentation, and research notes:
- Will others be able to reproduce your results using only the data and descriptions you provide?
- Will they reach different conclusions?
- Are the datasets sufficiently documented, structured, and transparent to enable reuse by others?
The event goes beyond technical implementation. It explores data quality and reusability, the reproducibility of research results, while reflecting on the importance of clearly communicating data, methods, and workflows.

FDM-Werkstatt - Into the RDM-Toolbox!
The Center of Data Litercacy (German: “Zentrum für Datenkompetenz”) DKZ.2R was officially launched mid November 2023. Already a month later we joined forces with fdm.nrw to organise the very first DKZ.2R-event (find the call for participation here). The “FDM-Werkstatt – Into the RDM-Toolbox” took place from March 18 to 20, 2024 at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. In total, 50 participants from all over Germany took part in the workshops. Many of them brought their own topics of interest with them and presented it in one of the 12 sessions. The contents of the sessions ranged from low-level introductions and RDM-basics to elaborate and in-detail coding sessions. For three days we worked together, discussed use cases and new RDM tools. But we also enjoyed the social program such as a tour of the AiX Cave and the server room of the ITC’s High Performance Computing Center. There was a good balance between cognitively demanding workshop sessions and more relaxing social events and lunch breaks which hopefully resulted in an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all participants. On the very last day of the workshop we offered a session to especially discuss ideas and directions for the DKZ.2R. The feedback we got in this session will help us in moving forward with the DKZ.2R and making a lasting impact for future researchers.
