# Virtual Theme Day on Research Data 2020

This source documents a virtual event held on October 13, 2020, focused on strategies for handling research data. The event was co-organized by the **Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ)** and **Universitätsmedizin**.

## Key Presentations

### Research Data Management (FDM) in Germany
Presented by Kerstin Helbig (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), this session discussed the development and establishment of [[forschungsdaten-managen]] within German science and higher education policy. It highlighted that researchers often only encounter FDM during third-party funded projects and discussed the necessary qualifications and services needed for future development.

### National Research Data Infrastructure and NFDI4Health
Presented by Juliane Fluck, this session introduced the [[nationale-forschungsdaten-infrastruktur-nfdi]] and specifically the [[nfdi4health]] consortium. NFDI4Health aims to create a centralized data catalog for epidemiological, public health, and clinical study data, while managing strict data protection requirements for personal health information.

### Paths to Publishing Research Data
Presented by Kai Steffen (Universitätsbibliothek Greifswald), this workshop covered:
- The necessity and advantages of publishing research data across all disciplines (empirical, natural sciences, medical, and humanities).
- The **Data Lifecycle** of research data after initial storage.
- The role of [[data-and-metadata-standards]] in making data searchable, findable, and citable.
- The selection of appropriate repositories for publication.
- The use of a [[daten-management-plan-dmp]] to ensure structured storage and meet documentation requirements (*Belegpflicht*).

## Event Format
The event included a **Science Fair / Poster Session** hosted on [[moodle]], with video contributions made available via [[grypstube]].
