The meeting objectives of the session is to promote current Engineering RDM initiatives like the national research data infrastructure for engineers from Germany or the FAIR Data Collective – FAIR made easy. The initiatives will be introducing themselves. Questions like “How RDA and RDMinEng IG in special could support such initiatives?” and “How will other engineers be involved?” will be discussed.

Preliminary agenda:

• Welcome and presentation of the activities and status of the IG (5 min):

• Presentation of the different Engineering RDM initiatives with discussions (75 min)

  • The German National Research Data Infrastructure for Engineering – Rainer Stotzka | Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

  • FAIR Data Collective – FAIR made easy – Nikola Vasiljevic – Technical University of Denmark (DTU) | RDA ambassador

  • Advancing FAIR and open data practices in energy science – Action items to progress from the status quo – August Wierling | Valeria Jana Schwanitz, University of Applied Sciences Norway | EERA Data project

  • Additive Manufacturing data management and standards development based on the FAIR principles – Yan Lu | US-NIST

• Closure and next steps (10 min)

This meeting is open to all participants and encourages in particular practitioners, researchers and other experts as well as community representatives in engineering disciplines. Particularly, but not exclusively, the meeting welcomes members from the following backgrounds:

• Scientists involved in engineering science

• Industrial representatives from major and minor companies representing engineering science and the industry sector

• Practitioners of software engineering for the industry sector

• Policy-makers for non-disclosure agreements & legal experts

• HPC and distributed computing experts

• RDM support staff working closely with researchers in engineering science
