Facing the data management challenge: NFDI in the field(s) of physics — •Uwe Kahlert — RWTH Aachen University

Almost every research progress is based on the creation and evaluation of data in the broadest sense. Especially in physics these data vary enormously in type and quantity depending on the field of research. There are areas that have always had to deal with "big data" and have built up extensive expertise in the management of this data. In others, the management of research data has not kept pace with their digitalization. The aspects of sustainability and re-use have generally been considered rather secondary. With the launch of the NFDI initiative, the DFG has now initiated the establishment of a National Research Data Infrastructure. The presentation will give an overview of the initiatives and developments, especially in the field(s) of physics, and highlight synergies and possible open fields of action.
