The University of Erfurt is a partner of the Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management, which provides information and materials on the subject of "Research data management in Thuringia" on its website. Here on site we advise all members of the University of Erfurt as well as members of the Thuringian universities of applied sciences from the areas of humanities, economics and pedagogy on all aspects of research data management that emerge during research.
The Research Data Management Service located at the library works closely with the Research and Graduate Service and the URMZ. We cooperate with the data protection officer and establish the contact for the publication services of the Electronic Text Center.
For your project, we would be happy to bring the right partners together.
We offfer consultation services on the following topics
The Thuringian RDM Days were launched in 2019 by the the Thuringian Competence Network Research Data Management to raise awareness of the topic of research data management and its many facets throughout Thuringia. On June 20 and 24, 2023, the Thuringian Competence Network Research Data Management will host the Thuringian FDM Days 2023, in the proven purely virtual format .
We would like to start with an introductory event on the topic of research data management, which is aimed at all Thuringian researchers regardless of their level of qualification.
After a lunch break, we present how Thuringia is involved in supporting researchers in the state and what opportunities you have to use these services. Among other things, there will be a small retrospective of the Thuringian Competence Network Research Data Management. What have we achieved and experienced in 5 years and where do we want to go in the future? We will also give you a peek the "new" projects and initiatives in the country.
We will also introduce you to the projects and winners of the Fairest Datasets Award 2023.
In the morning of the second day of the Thuringian RDM Days, we introduce you to the wide range of Germany-wide subject-specific offers on RDM. In addition to the services offered by the Specialised Information Services, 4 consortia of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) as well as the Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (ZBW) and the Information Centre for Life Sciences (ZBmed) will be presenting.
The afternoon is dedicated to legal aspects of research data management. The first talk provides an introduction to legal aspects of research data management. The following talk presents the basics of data protection as well as two tools (iVas) , which help to decide whether data protection and legal aspects are relevant in the research project.
