Data Stewardship goes Germany at KIT Library – a great success!

From September 30 to October 1, 2025, the “Data Stewardship goes Germany workshop” (DSgG) took place at the KIT Library. This year’s meeting was organized by the Team RDM@KIT at KIT Library  and the Research Data Management Working Group of the TU9 Alliance (TU9 RDM) in cooperation with FIZ Karlsruhe.

This year’s workshop focused on “Data Stewardship in Day-to-Day Research Activities – Use Cases and Best Practices” and was fully booked with nearly 70 participants. The workshop program included nine talks, four thematically structured working groups, and over 25 poster presentations.

The talks, working groups, and poster presentations encouraged discussion and the exchange of best practices in data handling and research support.

Starting in 2026, the DSgG workshop series, initiated by the TU9 libraries, will be organised independently by the data steward community. The next workshop will take place from September 28 to 29, 2026 at the University of Cologne.
