Research Data Day in NRW

Research Data Day 2026

What? The Research Data Day is an annual event during which the universities and colleges of NRW offer both shared and individual programmes surrounding all aspects of RDM, giving researchers the opportunity to ask questions and to connect. This year's title "Set off on your journey: Pleasant travels with your data" leads us to ask: What is it that we need to pack in our RDM suitcase?

When? The Research Data Day takes place on the second Tuesday of November – this year, that's 10 November 2026. Save the date!

Where? We will meet in the Library Hall (Bibliothekssaal) on Campus Essen to livestream the fdm.nrw morning programme. Following a get-together over lunch, the RDS afternoon programme "Arrival in data paradise" will provide space for the RDM community at UDE and anyone interested to connect. Further details in about the programme coming soon!
