For the record, I'm still more than a little uneasy about #RDA's partnership with #Microsoft around agentic AI for research. It seems to me that the RDA-aligned research community will just be providing free labour to train "Researcher" agents that MS will then sell in direct competition with actual human researchers, further contributing to the devaluation of knowledge, expertise, truth and evidence.
Short-term thinking plays into the hands of the corporations and billionaires who have been playing a long game for decades.
Großes Interesse an RADAR auf der RDA-DE in Potsdam
Auf der RDA Deutschland Tagung 2025 stellte Kerstin Soltau aktuelle Entwicklungen vor: GitLab-Import für Datenpublikationen, Terminologie-Einbindung via TS4NFDI, Streaming-Downloads aus BagIt und den Launch von RADAR-BB für Brandenburg.

Gestern haben wir an der #RDA DE Konferenz teilgenommen, um die zentrale Rolle von #PIDs bei der Schaffung einer FAIREN Forschungslandschaft zu diskutieren. Der Austausch macht deutlich: Eine robuste PID-Infrastruktur ist das Rückgrat von #FDM & #OpenScience.

📢 NFDI4Earth @ RDA-DE 2026
We look forward to the exchange and to learning about the many activities working towards FAIR research data and better research data management practices in Germany and beyond.
NFDI4Earth is represented at RDA-DE 2026 with multiple posters and by several team members:

#LeMonde : "#AngelaMerkel continue de peser sur la vie politique allemande"
"ciblant en particulier #FriedrichMerz. Elle a ainsi pris ses distances avec le durcissement de la #politiqueMigratoire… critiqué le fait que la #CDU ait toléré qu’une motion qu’elle présentait sur l’#immigration soit adoptée grâce aux voix [de l'#AFD et regretté le choix] d’inviter Emmanuel Macron pour célébrer l’anniversaire de la #réunificationAllemande, plutôt qu’une personnalité d’ex-#RDA

Pour la première fois depuis son départ du pouvoir, en 2021, l’ancienne chancelière a prévu d’assister, vendredi, au congrès de l’Union chrétienne-démocrate. Sa présence alimente les spéculations sur une possible candidature à la présidence de la République fédérale, en 2027, alors qu’elle-même ne ménage pas ses critiques à l’égard de la politique de l’actuel chancelier, Friedrich Merz.
