Too many and disconnected tools?

Over the last years we have seen growing diversity across the RDM (research data management) landscape with new tools, new actors and standardization efforts. Yet, integrating different tools remains a challenge. The event will primarily bring together users of RDM software, data stewards and developers from different open source RDM communities.

Call for Abstracts is open! Submit your contribution until 15.08.2025 29.08.2025.

Register here for free until 12.09.2025. Spots are limited!
