Profile
Abstract
I am coordinating a pilot project on research data management in the Collaborative Research Centre 1199 "Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition". In the second phase of our SFB, we look into this topic which is gaining more and more importance in the academic world. We would like to develop workflows for an appropriate handling of our research data and materials. Moreover, I am coordinating the activities in the Digital Lab at the Research Centre Global Dynamics (ReCentGlobe). The Lab supports researchers in their work with digital data, tools, and methods.
