The research group published experimental data from a full-field displacement measurement, which they measured for their research in a tensile test using digital image correlation. The award recognises the publication of the data and outstanding research data management according to the FAIR principles.
The prize was awarded for the first time this year by the Niedersachsen Research Data Management State Initiative. Its aim is to raise awareness of FAIR data and software publications and to provide support in this future-oriented field. The two-day event not only provided ample time for exchange and networking, but also included numerous workshops and events on the topic of research data management in Niedersachsen.
