On March 29, 2017, VerbundFDB invited representatives from other educational research data centres and respective research institutes to a first meeting, to exchange ideas about the setup of joint venture services for educational researchers.

Working groups

Metadata working group (since 2017)

Representatives from research data centres are collaborating in a working group on metadata to harmonise metadata sets and schemata from different research data centres. On the one hand, a high and comparative standard of quality is thus targeted. On the other hand, technical interfaces are projected to enable automatic import of metadata from the diverse research data centres into the portal forschungsdaten-bildung.de.
