HeFDI Data Day 2026
First held in 2020 as the HeFDI Plenary and continuously developed since then, the HeFDI Data Week is a permanent annual event organized by the HeFDI network in the context of the nationwide Digital Day (Digitaltag). This year, we offer a HeFDI Data Day based on the theme of ‘Successful integration of research data management processes and workflows in Hessian research’ on 24th of June.
Description
Registration
Programme
The event will bring together researchers, data stewards, and research data management infrastructure experts to share practical examples and exchange experiences on how research data management processes and infrastructures can be effectively planned, implemented, and integrated within Hessian research institutions so that they can be successfully embedded in everyday scientific practice across disciplines.
The programme presents five contributions highlighting strategic developments and implementations within research groups of selected Hessian universitites. The event will open with a presentation marking the tenth anniversary of HeFDI, highlighting milestones and challenges in the development of research data infrastructures and shedding light on how coordinated collaboration across institutions improved the sustainable development of research data infrastructures in Hesse.
The HeFDI Data Day aims to foster collaboration and mutual learning by offering both institutional and project-level perspectives on RDM integration. The event is open to staff from Hessian universities and research institutions as well as to anyone interested in sustainable data practices.
The event will be held online in German and participation is completely free of charge.
