Research data management: competencies for data curation
RDM Compas is the information and training platform of the NFDI consortium KonsortSWD. Here you will find both general and data type specific information and training resources on research data management for anyone already working in or aspiring to work in the field of professional data curation (e.g., data curators at research data centers or data stewards at universities and other higher education institutions).
RDM Knowledge Base
In the RDM Knowledge Base you will find information on generic research data management for data curators, as well as data type-specific offers for the social, behavioural, educational and economic sciences.
The services of RDM Compas are orientated towards data curation activities in research data centres. We therefore use a simple model of the data curation lifecycle as a basis.
Training Center
In addition to the informative articles in the Knowledge Base, you will find corresponding thematic training materials on the individual steps of data curation and generic research data management in the Training Center.

Certificate Course
In the RDM Compas project, we designed the advanced
module ‘Data curation and data management of sensitive data in research data centres (RDCs)’, which was successfully integrated into the Research Data Management certificate course at TH Köln in 2024.
