Workshop description:
The demands in the field of research data management (RDM) have increased in recent years. Data stewards are regarded as the link between research and RDM. To remain competitive in the digital age, it is essential not only to impart data skills but also to foster networking across locations and institutions. This is the only way to address the latest developments in this dynamic field and contribute to enhancing the skills necessary for RDM in research.
In this workshop, we will focus on the topics of building data competencies and networking data stewards through four sessions: 1) Overview of competency development programs, 2) Collaborative approaches to building competencies, 3) Integration and networking of data stewards, and 4) Quality assurance and standards.
Context of the event:
The event will take place as part of the Themed Week ‘Digital Competences in Science’ theme week by the VolkswagenStiftung, alongside three other workshops, from December 2, 2024, to December 4, 2024, at the Xplanatorium Schloss Herrenhausen, Hannover (Herrenhäuser Str. 5, 30419 Hannover).
Organisation:
The Workshop “Datenkompetenz im Fokus, Qualitätssicherung und Vernetzung” is organised in cooperation with the state initiatives for RDM of the states Lower Saxony, Saxony, North Rhein-Westphalia and Hessia. Participants were contacted by the organization team. It is not possible to register for the event.

More information on the four blocks of the workshop:
Block 1: Overview of Competency Development Programs
Organizing Team: Dr. Barbara Weiner, Carolin Hundt, and Dr. Benjamin Golub-Overbeck
In Block 1 of the workshop, current data competency initiatives and offerings in Germany will be documented and presented in a target-group-oriented manner. The focus will be on the future design of competency development for research-supporting roles, taking into account established tools and formats. The results will be visualized and discussed on an interactive map of Germany.
Block 2: Building competencies through collaboration
Organizing Team: Christina Schröder, Dr. Janna Neumann, and Anna-Karina Renziehausen
The second workshop block focuses on the coordination and cooperative further development of existing RDM training offerings. By systematically capturing and discussing aspects such as structure and modularization, ways will be explored to make these offerings scalable and collaboratively usable. The results aim to lay the foundation for an initiative to foster collaboration in the training of data stewards, in order to better connect generic and discipline-specific offerings at all levels.
Block 3: Involvement and networking of data stewards
Organizing Team: Dr. Yvana Glasenapp, Dr. Beate La Sala, and Daniela Hausen
The workshop promotes the long-term competency development of data stewards through networking within the RDM community at local, regional, and national levels. Using the Community Canvas Model and the “Gallery Walk” method, perspectives from different organizations will be incorporated, and initial networking results will be presented. The outcomes will be further developed with partners such as the AG RDM of TU9 and the NFDI to strengthen nationwide networking.
Morning intermezzo: RDM awareness on social media
Organizer: Carolin Hundt
In this workshop, participants will learn how to communicate scientific content strategically and effectively on social media. In addition to an introduction to platforms, target audiences, and tools, the focus will be on developing and maintaining a long-term following.
Block 4: Quality assurance and standards
Organizing Team: Dr. Barbara Weiner, Dr. Lioba Schreyer
In this workshop block, quality criteria for educational materials on data literacy will be developed to ensure their suitability and relevance. After an introduction with examples, participants will discuss relevant attributes using the “Think-Pair-Share” method, which will be documented. These criteria are intended to contribute to the long-term quality assurance and curation of materials, thereby facilitating their use for the RDM community.
