About HeFDI

In order to do justice to this digital change at universities, various infrastructures and services are needed to support researchers in managing their digital research data. For this reason, headed by Philipps-Universität Marburg, eleven Hessian universities interoperate to establish research data infrastructures. The internal and external offers and services of the HeFDI coordination and office serve to support, coordinate and moderate the highly productive cooperation within the network. This includes:

1. Coordination and office (professionalization and further development), i.e. a central coordination office is responsible for the professionalization and continuous further development of the organizational structures. This office serves as the hub for all administrative and strategic tasks, ensuring efficient and targeted implementation of the measures.
   
2. Joint training courses for the HeFDI working level to ensure uniform and high-quality further development. These training courses promote the exchange of knowledge and networking, thereby utilizing synergy effects and increasing the competence of all those involved.
3. Reflective discussions and contact with the HeFDI locations, which enable continuous evaluation and adaptation of the development strategies.
4. Provision of templates, including for legal documents, both for administrative processes - such as consultation documentation - but also for training documents, agreements and contracts, data protection documents, processing directories, etc. These templates, combined with rapid knowledge transfer, facilitate the implementation of services and help to increase the efficiency of the entire network.
