FAIR and GDPR Compliant

17. March 2026
Online
Organised by: Universität Mannheim

This session will cover the topic of the recently published NFDI Section ELSA factsheets “FAIR-Principles and Data Protection. How can FAIR data management be reconciled with the General Data Protection Regulation?“ The aim is to support researchers and illustrate the interplay between the FAIR framework and the privacy requirements in RDM, by showing that the two in fact supplement each other. Thus, researchers can learn how to comply with both frameworks, identify legal issues in their research projects and use various tools and resources for self-education.

Turning PDFs into Research Data 

14. April 202612. May 2026
Online
Organised by: BERD@NFDI

Do you ever feel that the data you need for your research is accessible but it’s not in a convenient table, such as company reports or building plans? Perhaps the information you need is spread out across many different documents? If only we could read and extract structured data from thousands of written documents. In this course, we explore how to accomplish this task by combining web scraping, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Over four weeks, we provide online lessons and interactive sessions to learn the fundamentals of these key technologies.
The course includes 4 live Online Meetings, in which you will discuss the week’s contents with the instructor and fellow participants.

FOR2026 – The Future of Open Research: Reliable Responsible, Equitable

4. May 20266. May 2026
Munich (Germany)
Organised by: Technical University of Munich (TUM)

Our goal is to facilitate the development of open research practices explicitly geared to serve the public interest, which involves interrogating what may constitute that ‘public interest’ to different audiences and in different locations around the world. A central element for our discussions will be the development of a Munich Manifesto for Equitable Open Research, detailing ways to utilise open research to foster reliable, responsible, and equitable forms of inquiry. A draft text of the manifesto will be circulated two weeks before the conference to all participants, and one session of the conference will be dedicated to discussing and finalising the declaration and its possible signatories.
