CDF attended this year’s fourth Data Stewardship goes Germany workshop in Karlsruhe, organized by KIT Karlsruhe, FIZ Karlsruhe, and TU9. Over two days, data stewards from all over Germany presented their diverse activities in the form of posters and talks. Several working groups discussed various FDM tools and the role of NFDI in research data management. For the data stewards in attendance, including three from the University of Freiburg, it was an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences in person.
