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. In particular:
- Do you know how to look for mathematical results, for formulae, for information about algorithms? How do you find out what is the state of the art of a field? How can you describe a mathematical object so that others know what it is? How can you make sure you sensibly compare your new results to the best ones out there? How can you make your own theoretical and computational results visible and usable for others?
- How do you properly document all the steps in a research process, from a question you are interested in to finding answers to that question up until sharing your results with your peers? Why should you? What has this got to do with applying for funding?
- Have you ever wondered what arXiv is or how the publishing business works? What is (technical) peer review? How are different types of maths, like papers or computations, handled in such an evaluation process? Where and how should you store all the analogue and digital files you handle when doing maths? What are good, sustainable solutions? What is good scientific practice?

Humanities@NFDI: Working Together for Sustainable Research Data
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration for Preserving Cultural Heritage
Humanities@NFDI brings together four NFDI consortia to ensure the long-term accessibility and reuse of research data in the humanities and cultural sciences. Through shared standards, vocabularies, and community-driven activities, the initiative fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthens digital cultural heritage research.
QualidataNet by KonsortSWD-NFDI4Society is the “central point of entry” for qualitative data and its secondary use.
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.

Forum4MICA – Making Research Data Knowledge Accessible Together
Forum4MICA connects researchers and research data centers on one central platform. It provides a space to ask questions, exchange expertise, and discuss complex datasets from the social, behavioral, educational, and economic sciences. Through direct interaction with experts and the research community, the platform is building a sustainable knowledge archive for research data management and scientific collaboration.
