RDMTraining4NFDI: Lost in Training?

Wohltmann, Mareike; Bock, Sina; Blümm, Mirjam

Abstract

The base service Research Data Management Training for NFDI (RDMTraining4NFDI) offers a modular collection of primarily existing fundamental RDM training materials, featuring documented and tested training formats and methods that take the Learning Objective Matrix into account. Materials created in this project, such as best-practice guides, will be made freely available as Open Educational Resources (OER) under the CC-BY license and registered in DALIA including metadata. By providing access to these materials, consortia can efficiently develop their own community-specific adaptations of the training and build capacity quickly. In this presentation, we will provide insights into the current collection and ongoing work, outline our process for identifying certification options, and offer an outlook on the integration phase.

Lost in Training? RDMTraining4NFDI A service aimed at improving research data management (RDM) through tools, training, and community support. CoRDI, 28th of August 2025 Speaker: Mareike Wohltmann and Sina Bock DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17084692 1 Core Questions Which RDM training materials and content are relevant for whom? How can generic RDM training materials be adapted to subject-/discipline specific needs? Which training formats are suitable for which target group? Which training format does most effectively teach RDM skills? How might a credentialing framework look like? How can we contribute to simplify creating, publishing and administrating RDM training materials? 2 CoRDI, Aachen 28.08.25 | [email protected] Bridging Questions and Practice Credentialing Community support Open Educational Resources (OER) Discipline - specific adaptations Researchers 3 CoRDI, Aachen 28.08.25 | [email protected] Training formats Consultancy on training skills & methodologies Data Stewards RDM Multipliers RDM Training Materials Approach: Comparing RDM training materials from our use cases Different perspectives Concepts: Train-the-Trainer, learning objective matrix, EduBricks Discipline specific views Metadata (schemata): DALIA Interchange Format, DINI/Nestor UAG Forschungsdaten How to harmonise terminologies, adapt discipline specific subject areas, methods and data types?
