We are pleased to announce that the EFZN is funding our project “Communicating Competencies for Research Data Management for Energy Research in Lower Saxony”. Together with C3L, we want to develop open teaching and learning materials (OER) for research data management in energy research.

With the help of these materials, knowledge regarding research data management can be given to scientists in the field of energy research in Lower Saxony, e.g. to members of the EFZN. Subsequently, those scientists can further qualify themselves for the handling of research data, so that the use of research data in Lower Saxony's energy research is strengthened. On the one hand, this enables fundamentally new research, e.g. in the field of artificial intelligence and digitization, since large amounts of data are often required here. On the other hand, data sets can be used more frequently in this way, and the tedious creation of new data sets can be eliminated.
