2nd Conference on Research Data Infrastructure: 
RDM in Action

August 26th – 28th, 2025

Aachen (Germany)

 

Research data form the basis for knowledge and innovation throughout all scientific disciplines. They play a fundamental role in the progress of our society. The key to using this data is an effective infrastructure.

The Association German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is initiating the second Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI) from 26th to 28th August 2025. The main topics of the conference include technical and non-technical aspects for establishing interdisciplinary research data management (RDM).

The Conference on Research Data Infrastructure stands for more comprehensive knowledge through better use of research data, for innovations and the resulting social benefits. Under this year’s theme “RDM in Action” national and international stakeholders from all research fields as well as from the infrastructure sector are invited to present their contributions to an excellent RDM of the future and to exchange information about the latest developments. The conference is organized by NFDI in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University. NFDI contributors as well as all other RDM interested stakeholders will have the opportunity to meet at the Campus of RWTH Aachen University.

 

Topics of Interest

There will be disciplinary and cross-disciplinary tracks. We encourage submissions from national, European and global initiatives and programmes, including, but not limited to: NFDI, EOSC, ESFRI, RDA, ReSA, Australian Data Commons, NIH Biocommons, NIST etc.

The disciplinary tracks address infrastructure aspects relevant for the individual disciplines:

  • Humanities and Social Sciences
  • Natural Sciences
  • Life Sciences
  • Engineering

The cross-disciplinary tracks address more specific topics regarding the delivery of RDM infrastructure:

  • Impact of RDM: This track is about how to understand, measure and encourage the impact of research data.
  • RDM in Context: This track is about the larger context of research data including standardization efforts, supporting services, working in international contexts, and  cultural change. Both technical and organizational submissions are encouraged.
  • RDM Infrastructures: This track is about the technical infrastructure including software that supports RDM and research data interoperability and use.
  • Educating RDM:  This track is on data literacy – educating users on research data management but also for skills development in domains.

Submission

  • We are soliciting submission of “Resources and Experiences” documented by an abstract of 500 words and, more importantly, links to relevant materials.
  • The links may include PIDs to publications, data sets, software, training material, videos, etc. 
  • All submissions have to be submitted via the conference submission system EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cordi2025
  • Submissions have to be formatted in the style of the conference proceedings. You can find the templates below.
  • Each submission should clearly indicate the track it is to be submitted to, and how the work relates to Research Data Infrastructures addressing the topics of that track.
  • The conference language is English, but German-language submissions can also be accepted. 

Curation of Sessions

The Track Chairs will select a pool of submitted papers according to the criteria timeliness and relevance, substance and soundness, clarity and impact for acceptance. Based on the pool of selected papers each session is curated to help create an engaging and informative event.

 

Proceedings and Presentations

Accepted submissions will be part of the conference proceedings and will be published Open Access under the CC BY Licence with the authors keeping the rights in the contributions.

It is expected that at least one author of each accepted submission registers for attending the conference and presenting the submission. Each accepted submission will be given a speaking slot, poster presentation or an equivalent role.
