(Published on 24.01.2023) Research and data simply belong together. Extensive data sets provide the basis for understanding interrelationships and promoting new insights. However, storing data securely and describing it in a comprehensible way can be challenging. Why it is worthwhile nonetheless, how sustainable research data management works and what tips and tricks researchers can use will be shown during the “Love Data Week” from 13 to 17 February 2023. German-language initiatives and advice centres on research data management will offer an extensive programme during the international campaign week around Valentine’s Day..
The safe and competent handling of research data is an important component of good scientific practice. The advisory and service centers of the scientific research institutions, the state initiatives as well as the supra-regionally active associations, NFDI consortia, initiatives and working groups related to research data management have joined forces this year to raise awareness for a more conscious handling of research data within the framework of the international action week “Love Data Week”. To this end, the action partners are offering various formats such as coffee lectures, continuing education courses, podcasts, and information events both online and in person between February 13 and 17, 2023, under the motto “Data: Agent of Change.”
The free offer is aimed at researchers and students of all qualification levels and disciplines, scientific infrastructure and service staff, citizen scientists and all other interested parties and can be accessed at forschungsdaten.info.
An overview of all offers and the participating partners can be found here: https://forschungsdaten.info/fr/fdm-im-deutschsprachigen-raum/deutschland/love-data-week/

Funding for new basic services for Jupyter notebooks, data management plans and knowledge graphs
The basic service initiatives Jupyter4NFDI, DMP4NFDI and KGI4NFDI have submitted applications for funding. At its meeting on 12 April, the Consortia Assembly (KV) of the NFDI Association voted in favour of funding the three applications. This means that the projects can start their first phase (initialisation phase) in the near future. The funding will be provided via Base4NFDI.
New chairs elected for the Consortium Assembly
The Consortium Assembly of the NFDI Association elected new chairpersons at its meeting on 12 April 2024. Prof Dr Christoph Eberl (NFDI-MatWerk), Dr Barbara Ebert (NFDI4Biodiversity) and Prof Dr Stefanie Weidtkamp-Peters (NFDI4BIOIMAGE) will hold the chairmanship for the next two-year term of office as a cooperative team.
NFDI is now member of the international Research Data Alliance
NFDI recently became a member of the Research Data Alliance (RDA). Both initiatives aim to share and reuse data resources in a community-driven approach.
