• Open Access is the default
• Research data is FAIR
• Digital skills underpin open, transparent research
lifecycle
• Research infra is participatory and tailored to
different disciplines
• Cutural heritage build on today’s digital info

7. Questions for today‘s workshop
• How to link up with researchers and how can their work
environments be connected with research data management
services and tools?
• What roles are libraries assuming in collaborations, what are
according opportunities and challenges? (e.g. embedded data
librarian)
• What organisational structures work best? Whom to work with
and what needs have been identified in these collaborations?
• What legal challenges can be foreseen for the implementation of the
EU Data protection regulation, what discipline-specific issues
arise and how can research data services provide support?
