At Doc Camp 2026, the CDF presented itself as the go-to contact for research data management. A presentation provided insights into the requirements for sustainable data management within the context of data-driven research, highlighting the crucial role doctoral students play in enhancing the University of Freiburg’s research strength.
Through services such as storage solutions, workshops, and individual consulting, the CDF supports the sustainable archiving and publication of citable data. This helps build professional reputation: those who also use identifiers such as ORCID or DOI significantly increase their visibility as data providers. Furthermore, the presentation explored the best ways to collaborate with other researchers.
