The “Digital Competences in Science” theme week took place in Hanover at the beginning of December 2024. The event was organized by the VolkswagenStiftung with the aim of promoting the interdisciplinary and supra-regional exchange of ideas and initiatives on digital skills in science. As part of the theme week, Dr. Yvana Glasenapp (FDM-NDS), Dr. Lioba Schreyer (fdm.nrw), Dr. Barbara Weiner (SaxFDM) and Dr. Beate Ulrike La Sala (HeFDI) organized the workshop “Data Literacy in Focus: Angebote, Qualitätssicherung und Vernetzung” from 2 to 4 December.

As part of this workshop, Sonja Herres-Pawlis gave a presentation entitled “Research Data Management in Curricular Teaching, NFDI Section EduTrain and the DALIA Platform for RDM Teaching Materials” in which the perspective of NFDI4Chem was introduced and the DALIA search portal was presented. The workshop also offered many opportunities for exchange with numerous representatives of the RDM state initiatives and data competence centers. Other interesting thematic blocks of the workshop with a focus on skills development, quality assurance, and standards of open teaching and learning materials were enriched by the experiences from the DALIA project, the EduTrain section and NFDI4Chem. Moreover, the learning objective matrix and the DALIA interchange format have been intensively discussed towards the standardisation of open educational resources.
