Research Data Management (RDM) is part of the research process, and aims to make the research process as efficient as possible. Beyond that, RDM has to meet expectations and requirements of the university and research funders (e.g. Horizon 2020). These funders nowadays ask for efficient tools that outline how data is handled both during research, and after the project is completed.
The presentation will first give a short overview of the initiatives an RDM being launched in Austria at the moment and will later concentrate on a specific project that was initiated in 2017 by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW). The goal of this project is to promote a coordinated approach in the implementation of RDM workflows within Austrian universities.
