"Research Data Commons": New Helmholtz Forum for Sharing Insights and Best Practices in Data Management
The "Research Data Commons" is a new initiative by the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) and the Helmholtz Open Science Office, designed to provide a platform for Helmholtz employees to exchange insights, solutions, and best practices in research data management. The forum aims to foster collaboration and improve data management across the Helmholtz Centers.
Research data respectively research data management (RDM) is an increasingly prominent topic as it holds unique scientific, societal and economical potential. Across the Helmholtz Association, there are numerous community-specific approaches and initiatives to solve various RDM challenges. There is an increasing need for exchange between the Helmholtz Centers, to share good practices and explore possible common threads of action.
For this, Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) and the Helmholtz Open Science Office launched “Research Data Commons”, a joint recurring Helmholtz-forum for the exchange and discussion of research data-relevant topics at Helmholtz that kicked-off with a focus on FAIRness, visibility and data quality in December 2024. The format of the Research Data Commons invites employees from all centers to share their experiences and approaches around specific focus-topics.
