NFDI4ING Fiona’s Summer School 2026: From zero to data hero
NFDI4ING invites 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. š It is focused on research data management challenges faced by our Archetype Fiona on data provisioning and reusage.
Program
The Summer School takes place in August 2026 on-site in Aachen. The topics cover:
- Building and documenting your experimental setupĀ
- Collecting and processing data, including metadata managementĀ
- Simple data analysis using self-written programming codeĀ
- Research software managementĀ
- Outlook on Data Meshes
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 beginning with the planning of an experiment to the publication of data and results.Ā
Registration
Registration procedure will be announced here later.
