NFDI4ING and DKZ.2R: Fiona’s Summer School 2026: Playful RDM
NFDI4ING and DKZ.2R invite engineers and researchers to FIONA’s Summer School 2026, a practice-oriented training on modern research data management in engineering sciences. During the summer school, a small-scale data-driven engineering experiment is conducted to theoretically learn and practically apply Research Data Management (RDM). Look forward to clamping blocks, gears and measurement technology in your pocket. 😉 It is focused on research data management challenges faced by our Archetype Fiona on data provisioning and reusage.
Program
The Summer School takes place from August 4th to 6th 2026 on-site in Aachen. The topics cover:
- Why RDM is important to your work
- Documenting your experimental setup
- Recording data using your phone as example
- Metadata management using engineering terms
- Simple data analysis using Jupyter Notebooks
- Publishing your data for others to reuse it
- Data archiving for long term availability
Participants will gain hands-on experience with FAIR tools, concepts, and best practices to enable transparent, reusable, and verifiable research. We will provide a comprehensive introduction with practical exercises and our experimental case for FAIR data management, demonstrating the application of software, concepts and best practice from NFDI4ING & DKZ.2R beginning with the planning of an experiment to the publication of data and results.Â
