Staying on Track, Smoothing the Ride: Research Data Management at TU Wien

A team from the Center for Research Data Management at TU Wien participated in the repository support action, during which they identified and started working towards a range of actions to increase the engagement with their users and the efficiency of their work to raise awareness of good RDM practices among them.

FAIR-IMPACT’s Support Programme for Repositories and Data Service Providers aimed to help participants better understand their drivers for becoming more FAIR-enabling, self-assess their current FAIR-enabling capacity, develop an action plan with considerations for stakeholder engagement, and to work on implementing this.

The support programme ran between September 2024 and March 2025, during which six virtual workshops and continuous dedicated and tailored mentoring support was offered to help participants identify and establish their unique journey toward becoming more FAIR-enabling. This FAIR Implementation Story outlines the specific aims and actions of TU Wien’s team in relation to their participation in this Support Programme.
