As part of the DataNord training program, Nele Fuchs was invited to a Coffee Lecture by the Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management. In this online event, she demonstrated how note-taking apps can help researchers organize their knowledge and support their digital research.

The collaboration between the ZeMKI Lab for Digital Communication and Information Diversity (University of Bremen) and the Science Communication Department at the IKMZ (University of Zürich) aims to research digital transformation processes in science communication using data-driven approaches.

By developing a reproducibility engine, the project makes it possible for the first time to automatically verify the reproducibility of empirical studies. This addresses a weak point in the transfer of knowledge and lays the groundwork for well-informed real-world decisions.

The project aims to foster collaboration among researchers in digital literary studies from across Europe through regional network meetings and guest lectures, thereby creating a strong network for the consolidation of methods and theories.

As part of the Digital Humanities Lunchtalks, the DSC, SuUB and the BIS brought together researchers from Bremen and Oldenburg for a discussion. The online series once again demonstrated how collaboration within the Northwest Alliance is providing new impulses for digital methods in the humanities.

As part of the interdisciplinary master’s program in Neurosciences, the DSC taught the fundamentals of research data management and FAIR data. The course demonstrates how DataNord helps integrate data literacy into academic education at an early stage.

Representatives from DKZ, NFDI, and state RDM initiatives met in Dresden to exchange ideas on data literacy and research infrastructures. The focus: sharing experiences, learning from one another, and developing joint approaches for sustainable support structures.

For the DFG Priority Program 2433, the DSC developed a tailored online format on research data management and FAIR data. Dr. Susanne de Vogel and Sarah Büker provided practical guidance on the fundamentals of responsible research data management.

At the DaDiSC-Workshop in Bielefeld, representatives from nine institutions gathered to discuss the community’s future development. The DSC contributed its expertise particularly to the topics of research digitization and strategic development.

Following the workshop at DHd2026, Annika Nolte and Nele Fuchs have now introduced the topic of AI-assisted audio transcription into teaching at the University of Bremen. The focus was on qualitative research, data protection and practical transcription workflows using Whisper and NoScribe.
