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.

The Thuringian RDM Days will take place this year on June 18 and 19, 2024 under the motto "Becoming literate in the Data Universe - From data literacy to the application of AI". The two-day online conference will start with an introduction to research data management, which is aimed at all Thuringian researchers regardless of their level of qualification. On the first day of the event, the focus will be on Thuringia's research data management activities. We will give you an insight into the projects and initiatives in the state, present the winners of the FAIRest Dataset Award 2024 and answer the following questions, among others:
- What do data stewards do and who can make use of their services?
- What has happened with RDM at the applied universities?
- How is the development of the Thuringian research data repository REFODAT progressing?
The second day of the event will start with a keynote speech by the German Research Foundation on the influence of artificial intelligence on science and the DFG's funding activities and will also include exciting sessions on the topics of data literacy, effective research data management for AI applications and AI ethics.
