Dear colleagues,

Thank you for your interest in our online survey on requirements and training needs regarding research data management (RDM) skills among RDM professionals. This survey is being conducted as part of the project “RDM Compas”, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of the NFDI project “KonsortSWD - nfdi4society” (project number: 442494171) and led jointly by the Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (GESIS) and the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID).

By participating, you are making a valuable contribution to improving education and training opportunities in this field. Based on the survey results, we would like to develop new training opportunities for the information and training platform RDM Compas and adapt existing materials to the actual needs of practitioners.

Thank you in advance for your participation. The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and your responses will be treated as strictly confidential and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. More information is provided in the informed consent form on the next page.

If you have any questions about the survey or the project, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please contact Ekaterina Chicherina (ekaterina.chicherina@gesis.org) or Lisa Spitzer (ls@leibniz-psychology.org).

Thank you very much for your support!
