Project description:

National and international research funders, professional societies and research institutions are increasingly calling for research data management (RDM) to be implemented as an integral part of research. Universities are called upon to support their members in this process.

CARDS focuses on the sustainable development and expansion of tools, services and educational offers for research data management (RDM) for researchers and multipliers. It will also support the implementation of best practices in data management in clusters of excellence. CARDS aims to simplify FAIR-compliant data management at the BUA institutions, to professionalize the planning and implementation of data-based projects and to increase RDM literacy in the BUA context.

Building on the predecessor project Concept Development for Collaborative Research Data Management Services (BUA-FDM), the project develops measures for the targeted optimization of RDM expertise at the institutions as well as for improving the management of research data in order to promote the quality and reusability of research data in Berlin as a science location.

CARDS consists of four subprojects:

• SP1: BUA Customized Research Data Management Organizer (RDMO) - Technische Universität Berlin
  
• SP2: Data Stewardship in Clusters of Excellence - Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin
  
• SP3: RDM competence building in the BUA - Freie Universität Berlin
  
• SP4: Model development for the use of electronic lab notebooks (ELN) in the BUA as an integral part of an RDM strategy in experimental disciplines - Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
