What needs to happen to establish conscientious research data management in the disciplines of the life sciences? How can researchers be convinced and reservations be overcome? These were the questions addressed in a highly interesting panel discussion on February 16, 2023, jointly organised by the NFDI consortia NFDI4Biodiversity, DataPLANT, NFDI4Health and NFDI4Microbiota.

Panelists were Dr. Barbara Ebert (NFDI4Biodiversity), Prof. Dr. Konrad Förstner (NFDI4Microbiota), Prof. Dr. Björn Usadel (DataPLANT) and Prof. Dr. Iris Pigeot (NFDI4Health). The discussion was moderated by Dr. Kerstin Elbing (Verband Biologie, Biowissenschaften und Biomedizin in Deutschland e. V. – VBIO).

The discussion was introduced by keynote speeches from Dr. Martin Friedrichs-Manthey (NFDI4Biodiversity), Prof. Dr Björn Usadel and Prof. Dr Iris Pigeot.

The event was part of the Love Data Week 2023, an international week of action to discuss and reflect on research data together. Under the motto "Data: Agent of Change" the Love Data Week 2023 was celebrated worldwide from 13-17 February with numerous events on a wide range of research data management (RDM) topics.
