In view of the increasingly important role of informed and organized handling of research data and the associated need for high-quality training courses for researchers, which are only provided locally in a few cases, HeFDI piloted a cross-location training course in 2021. This pilot was already designed as an online offer in order to provide the lowest possible threshold of access for all researchers from Hesse. Thanks to the cooperation of several locations in the planning and implementation, it was possible to create a broader and more in-depth range of courses while maintaining the same level of local resources. This pilot was very well received, so that the HeFDI Data School format was iterated in the following two years and expanded into a federated service.
