Description
The symposium particularly explores which computer science concepts and prototypes can support the development of a National Research Data Infrastructure, what contributions computer science makes in this context, and where further development is needed. Through interdisciplinary exchange and practical insights, the event offers an important opportunity to actively shape the future of research data management.
