Workshop
Third Workshop on Research Data Management in Plasma Science at Kiel University
In the last few days, Kiel University hosted the third workshop on research data management in plasma science. This event was a collaborative effort, jointly organized by the INP Greifswald, Kiel University, and the University of Bochum. The workshop attracted a diverse audience, with 19 participants attending in person and approximately 30 joining online, eager to delve into the latest advancements and discussions in the field.
The workshop included different talks from researchers, facilitating a rich exchange of ideas and knowledge. Participants had the opportunity to explore various aspects of research data management.
This year's workshop placed a particular emphasis on electronic labbooks. A dedicated hands-on session provided participants with practical experience, demonstrating how electronic labbooks can seamlessly integrate with both simulation research and experimental work. This approach not only highlighted the advantages of digital tools in managing research data but also fostered a deeper understanding of their application in real-world scenarios.

2nd Workshop on FAIR data in Plasma Science
We are happy to announce the second workshop on research data management in Plasma Science. NP, CAU and RUB are now organizing the 2nd Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science, which will take place from May 3-4, 2023 at the Event Center at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, see also https://www.plasma-mds.org/ws-fair-data-plasma-science-2.html.
The workshop is aimed at researchers at different stages for exchange on the topic of data management. Topics of the workshop are electronic lab journals, practical questions in the daily handling of research data management systems as well as the presentation of already established solutions. In addition, an interactive part is planned, which will deal with the question of how to get standards into the laboratory. Here, all participants are invited to contribute their ideas and your practical expertise.

Data Stewards from Finland visit RUB
An Erasmus program enables exchange among university staff. RUB welcomes guests from the University of Oulu.
RUB receives a visit from Finland. The Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Program enables visits of university staff to expand internationalization. From the UNIC partner university Oulu in Finland, researchers from different faculties are visiting RUB to exchange ideas on research data management.
On May 11, 2022, the so-called Data Stewards will be welcomed at an event hosted by RUB, the University of Duisburg Essen (UDE) and the Technical University (TU) Dortmund at the Event Center on campus. The Data Stewards are responsible for the Faculty of Education, Oulu Business School, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Technology and Faculty of Science and Biocenter Oulu.
The participating guests are Data Stewards from various collaborative projects, personnel from the libraries and central IT, and interested researchers from the three universities of the University Alliance Ruhr. In addition to the RUB, these include the UDE and TU Dortmund. On May 12, the program for the Finnish guests will also include one-on-one discussions and roundtable discussions in smaller groups. These include, for example, laboratory tours of the Collaborative Research Centers "Extinction Learning" (SFB 1280) and "Transient Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas - from Plasma to Liquids to Solids" (SFB 1316), a discussion round on the topic of Open Science and talks with the University Library, the WORLDFACTORY Start-up Center and the Materials Research Department.

INP RUB Meeting
On Friday, 26.11.2021, scientists from Greifswald and Bochum met in a zoom meeting to discuss about metadata of atmospheric pressure plasmas. From both sides the meeting was led by RDM representatives. The results will be used in the development of metadata standards in plasma physics. The next meeting is on 21.01.2022 on low pressure plasmas.

The challenge of the INF project's work in CRC 1316 is the diversity of the individual review boards. Here, therefore, it makes sense for communication to take place through representative contacts in the groups. These are informed about new developments in the RDM through regular meetings and at the same time can communicate the needs from the groups to the INF team.
