Current Projects

Based on the collaboration of five academic institutions from two European higher education alliances (EPiCUR and Unite!), the project aUPaEU aims to establish a common platform for the exchange of services, knowledge and experiences.

This platform will enable higher education institutions and alliances to implement integrated, collaborative and fundamental change. The focus is on six core themes: Capacity Building, Infrastructure and Resource Sharing, Attractive Career Paths for Researchers, Collaboration with Research & Innovation Ecosystem Actors, Open Science, Societal Exchange, and Gender Equality.

The Baden-Württemberg State Initiative for research data management bwFDM is active in five different areas: networking with RDM stakeholders in Baden-Württemberg and beyond; coordinating support for the implementation of the research data strategy; maintaining and further developing the information platform forschungsdaten.info; consulting and training on RDM for Baden-Württemberg higher education institutions, e.g. developing an RDM Helpdesk BW and an RDM certificate course BW, as well as continuing the E-Science-Tage conference series. bwFDM aims to continue and expand the structures and results of the predecessor projects bwFDM-Info I, bwFDM-Info II and bw2FDM.
