Forum4MICA – Making Information Commonly Available – facilitates exchange between researchers as data users and research data centers (RDCs) as data providers. More than 15 of the 41 RDCs have already signed up as partners and almost 560 people have registered as active users, with rising tendency. With the establishment of the forum it is first time possible to find information on data products from different RDCs bundled on one central platform.
The work with complex research data sets from the social, behavioral, educational, and economic sciences leads to specific questions by the data user. Forum4MICA serves as a central platform for individual questions, answers, and comments relating to research data management. It offers access to valuable expertise through direct exchange with experts from the participating RDCs and enables topics to be directly discussed with other researchers from the community. This creates a sustainable knowledge archive that actively promotes scientific dialogue and secures valuable information for the entire community as well as fostering networking between researchers.

QualidataNet – Making Qualitative Research Data Visible and Reusable
QualidataNet is the central access point for the reuse, archiving, and research data management of qualitative research data. Its search portal improves the visibility and discoverability of qualitative datasets from different providers. Through practical guidance, tools such as the open-source anonymization tool QualiAnon, and contributions to international metadata standards, QualidataNet supports researchers, educators, and institutions working with qualitative data. At the same time, the network fosters collaboration, exchange, and a stronger culture of qualitative data reuse across the community.
New class: Infrastructure for Mathematics (MaRDI)
This course discusses the concepts and services that mathematics students often only learn about during thesis writing or by word of mouth. When introducing research data management topics, we focus on how to do maths efficiently and sustainably.
Best practices in mathematics: small trees (MaRDI)
One example of FAIR mathematics is the project small phylogenetic trees: an early 2000’s mathematical library transformed into a modern website, a software package, and a best practice report.
