Advisory Board

The FDM.SH Advisory Board is the strategic steering committee of the FDM.SH State Initiative. Through its function and composition, the Advisory Board ensures that the activities of FDM.SH are sustainable and of high quality, while prioritizing and adequately addressing the needs of research institutions in Schleswig-Holstein. According to the bylaws of the State Initiative, the FDM.SH Advisory Board consists of seven voting members who represent the universities and research institutions in Schleswig-Holstein, the network institutions of the State Initiative, and other individuals with expertise in research data management (RDM).

With the inaugural meeting of the Advisory Board on February 20, 2024, the committee commenced its work for the next five years. The committee is accompanied by political representatives from the fields of science and digitalization in Schleswig-Holstein, who are invited as permanent guests to the meetings. Currently, these positions are held by one representative each from the State Chancellery and the Ministry of General and Vocational Education, Science, Research, and Culture of Schleswig-Holstein.
