RADAR at the DiTraRe Symposium, 02.-03.12.2025, Karlsruhe

The Leibniz Science Campus “Digital Transformation of Research” (DiTraRe) invites you to the first DiTraRe Symposium on December 2 and 3, 2025, at the Center for Art and Media Technology (ZKM) in Karlsruhe.

Leibniz Science Campuses enable Leibniz institutions and universities to cooperate on a thematically focused basis in the sense of a regional partnership. At the DiTraRe Science Campus, FIZ Karlsruhe is cooperating with the KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The project is investigating the influence of digitization on research, shedding light on its potentials, challenges, and risks.

DiTraRe is structured around four interdisciplinary research clusters, each represented with a use case. The use cases are the following: Sensitive Data in Sports Science, Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering, Publication of Large Data Sets (climate research), and Chemotion Electronic Lab Notebook. Moreover, four dimensions work together with the use cases providing analytical and methodological perspectives.

The first DiTraRe Symposium will focus on digital research practices, including the use of AI and open science. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of digital research and knowledge sharing and dissemination — from AI-driven data analysis and curation to open science practices and beyond.

The RADAR team is also actively involved in the symposium and will present its current work with the poster “RADAR: Enhancing FAIR Research Data Management with AI Support.”

In the poster, we present our explorative approaches with AI-supported functions for discussion. These approaches aim, on the one hand, at automated metadata enrichment through keyword extraction and, on the other hand, at checking the FAIRness of the datasets. The goal of our exploratory work is to further improve the quality and reusability of research data while reducing the workload for researchers and RADAR curators.
