In this Research Focus Class (RFC), we would like to provide an environment for students to work on developing their own research ideas. With a guidance from research assistants, we will ask you to design and implement these ideas independently. Results of such classes may lead to identifying a Master’s thesis topic or publications in scientific venues. This class offers students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through interactive and practical research in an innovative setting.
If you are interested in participating in this course, please send us an email (to rfc@dbis.rwth-aachen.de) with a brief description of your motivation for taking this course.

This research-oriented course is for students who are interested in current issues, developments, and research in the field of data ecosystems. A selected topic from one of the following areas of data ecosystems will be discussed: data sovereignty, data exchange, data protection, data security, FAIR data, etc.
First, there will be an introduction to the current state of research on the selected topic. Next, each student will be guided in identifying a question (research idea) within the topic area, familiarizing themselves with it, and presenting it to the other participants. This concept phase will be followed by a practical phase in which students will develop (prototype implementation, analysis, simulation, etc.) and evaluate their research idea. The exact procedure may vary from semester to semester and depending on the topic area.
