FAIR in Action
Too many disconnected research data management tools?
Join us at the FAIR in Action conference on the 01.- 02.10.2025 in Göttingen! The event brings together users, data stewards, and developers from RDM communities to explore how to actually make different (open source) RDM tools work together. FAIR in Action is a satellite event of FDM@Campus 2025 an free of charge.

Datenchaos? Keine Ahnung wo die aktuellen Versionen liegen? Ihr seid nicht allein! Wir zeigen euch eine einfache Methode, mit der ihr eine klare Struktur in eure Forschungsdaten bringt – und das so, dass ihr den Unterschied direkt merkt.
Sobald die Basis steht, geht es zum nächsten Schritt: Mit der Open-Source-Software LinkAhead lässt sich euer Forschungsdatenmanagement von der Datenerfassung bis zur Veröffentlichung automatisieren. Ihr bekommt einen Einblick wir ihr Daten in LinkAhead effizient durchsuchen und Verknüpfungen der Daten miteinander nachvollziehen könnt.

We are very much looking forward to spending Girls’ Day 2025 with eight young hackers. Once again, we will be offering an insight into the world of python and the day-to-day work of a software company. Demand was high and places were snapped up in no time at all. So if you are interested in hacking, you should come and have a look here.
And, of course, we will report on how wonderful it was.

How can research data from different sources be effectively managed, linked, and reused? In this session we will give an insight into LinkAhead – a flexible open source software toolkit specifically designed to meet the needs of research data management.
LinkAhead enables the automated integration of different data from different contexts and thus serves as a link between the different steps of the research process – from data acquisition to data analysis and publication. It works hand in hand with other RDM software such as electronic lab notebooks or repositories. We will demonstrate how researchers can efficiently browse their data in LinkAhead’s web interface and trace links between data.
LinkAhead supports researchers in various research areas, grows flexibly with their needs and can therefore be used by individual researchers as well as small research groups or entire institutes.
The workshop is organized by the state initiative Research Data Management Lower Saxony, FDM-NDS. FDM-NDS is a collaborative project under the umbrella of Hochschule.digital Niedersachsen and is funded as part of zukunft.niedersachsen, a funding program by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture (MWK) and Volkswagen Foundation.
