HMC Open Office Hours – Your Metadata Questions, Our Expertise

Do you work with research data and metadata – whether as a researcher, data manager, software developer, or in any other role? Are you facing technical challenges, looking for helpful tools, or simply interested in best practices?

Then join our virtual HMC Open Office Hours to speak directly with our experts and explore possible solutions together.

Each session is hosted by a different one of our HMC units and highlights their specific research focus. At the same time, the Open Office Hours are open to all kinds of questions, so you are welcome to bring general metadata topics as well.

When? Every two weeks on Thursday, 12-13h
Where? Online via Zoom
Registration? Please register via the respective event pages. There you will find all dates, details, and registration links.

Each Open Office Hour is published as a separate event on our website, allowing you to choose the sessions most relevant to your needs and the date that best fits your schedule. You can find the upcoming dates either below or here under events.

To help us prepare and provide the best possible support, please send your questions in advance to helpdesk@helmholtz-metadaten.de. You can also use this address anytime outside of the Open Office Hours if you need assistance.

We look forward to welcoming you and exchanging ideas, challenges, and solutions around metadata together.
