NFDI4Society: Research data management for the social, behavioral, educational and economic sciences – Offers from KonsortSWD

Speaker: Dr. Bernhard Miller, Coordinator KonsortSWD – nfdi4society

The presentation highlights the increasing importance of research data management (RDM) in the social sciences and how researchers can deal with the associated challenges.

The increasing relevance of RDM is due to the need to make research results reproducible, avoid data loss and enable the reuse of data. The National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) develops and bundles RDM services in order to strengthen and expand the research data infrastructure for researching society. Within the NFDI, the consortium for the social, educational, behavioral and economic sciences (KonsortSWD – NFDI4Society) focuses on the specific needs of these disciplines. The presentation will introduce the services offered by KonsortSWD, which aim to provide researchers with technical and content-related support in the management and reuse of research data, with a special focus on the challenges and requirements of handling sensitive data. This includes support services for the management of research data throughout the entire research data lifecycle, ensuring access to data while taking ethical and legal aspects into account and promoting the interoperability and visibility of research data. The presentation will also provide insights into the data services offered by the research data centers accredited by the German Data Forum (RatSWD). These insights provide an overview of the diverse research data available to researchers and show how this data can be supported and made reusable by the services offered by KonsortSWD.
