🎓 Qualifications Framework

Competence model for FDM in the field of cultural heritage.

To better integrate research data management into teaching, Task Area 6 is developing a specialised qualifications framework.

This is based on the NFDI learning outcomes matrix for RDM (Petersen et al. 2025) and specifies the necessary competences for different fields of application within the area of the material heritage of human history.

The qualifications framework:

  • defines relevant areas of competence
  • distinguishes between different levels
  • supports the development of curricular teaching programmes
  • facilitates the sustainable teaching of FDM competences
