Dear RDM Community at RWTH, our last network meeting on 15 January 2025 focused on updates to the RDM infrastructure and gathering your feedback on the RDM network. For those who could not attend, we kindly ask you to share your feedback on our network activities (mailing list, network meetings, and intranet project room) via the survey by 7 February 2025 [1<https://rwth.zoom-x.de/survey/mSbRpOI38PH5ZBQY19-LnCrXHtZi12caDzPRPW6gtxco60om0tM.rcEEp4FGaPhyJ5F0/view?id=JqWIFwHcStOAxxtlq3ZB3g#/sharePreview>]. The Miroboard [2<https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVLuJfcPE=/>] also remains open for you to contribute further ideas on how we can improve the organization and interaction within our network. The meeting slides are available in the Data Steward project room on the intranet [3<https://intranet.rwth-aachen.de/de/group/datastewards-rwth>]. If you still need access, please feel free to contact me. Love Data Week (10-14 February 2025): Please note that there will be no network meeting in February due to the Love Data Week.
