Data Stewardship goes Germany 2025 – Data Stewardship in Day-to-Day Research Activities

This volume brings together a selection of (extended) abstracts based on contributions presented at the Data Stewardship goes Germany (DSgG) 2025 workshop. The DSgG workshop series was initiated and, until 2025, organized by the RDM Working Group of TU9, an alliance of leading technical universities in Germany, in collaboration with local partners. The 2025 workshop took place on September 30 and October 1 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and was organized by RDM@KIT, FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, and the TU9 Working Group on RDM. The thematic focus of DSgG 2025 was Data Stewardship in Day-to-Day Research Activities – Use Cases and Best Practices, with a particular emphasis on practical approaches and processes for supporting research projects across disciplines. The program combined presentations and discussions of best practices with hands-on sessions on research data management tools and services.
