Research Data Management

Research data is a crucial resource for modern science. The amount of collected data is constantly growing, as are the possibilities for analyzing it. The Research Data Team within the Research and Young Academics THM researchers in managing their research data. This includes consulting and training services on all aspects of the data lifecycle, as well as infrastructure services such as the institutional research data repository , THM .

The responsible handling of research data is a prerequisite for preserving and disseminating scientific knowledge and thus an essential foundation for Further scientific progress. The availability of quality-assured research data guarantees the reproducibility and reusability of research. Data organization also facilitates traceability and collaboration with other researchers. Furthermore, it provides an overview of data, ensures machine readability, and enables more efficient work.

HeFDI - Hessian Research Data Infrastructures

Eleven Hessian universities collaborate closely within HeFDI to coordinate local processes and secure digital research data. Activities include training and information services, networked local research data repositories, and tools for managing active data. The goal is a robust research data landscape and improved access to valuable data.

HeFDI Data School

The HeFDI Data School offers cross-site and interdisciplinary courses on research data management. It is aimed equally at doctoral candidates and research staff at Hessian universities and beyond.

The basic modules provide fundamental knowledge on key aspects of research data management (RDM). They focus on basic concepts, standard methods, and best practices. The focus modules and crash courses offer in-depth insights into selected sub-areas and tools.

The NFDI aims to improve the use of data for science and society step by step. The NFDI is coordinated by the NFDI e.V. association, of which THM is also a member. Furthermore, the NFDI is Germany's mandated representative to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and is a member of the international Research Data Alliance (RDA).

Several consortia bring together groups of institutions working in a research field, collaborating across disciplines on both internal and interdisciplinary topics. Many topics are relevant to all or several consortia. These are identified jointly and advanced in dedicated sections. The network of consortia, Base4NFDI, develops basic services for NFDI.
