The poster describes our journey in translating and adapting DCC‘s How-to Guide “Using RISE, the Research Infrastructure Self Evaluation Framework”. It tells the story of our participative and collaborative approach to enable RDM service planning in educational institutions in German-speaking countries resulting in the framework RISE-DE. The poster is visually based on a map of Potsdam from 1786, provided by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. In the BMBF founded project “FDMentor” five universities from Berlin and Brandenburg are working together to create strategies, plans of actions, roadmaps, guidelines and open access material for an exceptional research data management infrastructure. The Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Technische Universität Berlin, the University of Potsdam and the European University Viadrina bundle their experience to work on the four main tasks: strategy development, policy development, expertise enhancements and networking. The University of Potsdam is on the verge of implementing a strategy for its research data management and subsequently the members of the project team are working on the main task strategy development and self-evaluation. We wanted to use a participative tool to facilitate RDM service planning for educational institutions. Therefore we chose a tool that enables relevant stakeholders to contribute their experiences and requirements to the process. Since we already made use of different publications and resources provided by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) we came across the RISE framework (Research Infrastructure Self-Evaluation Framework) published in 2017. We translated the framework for our purpose into German and adopt it for German-speaking countries. We got in contact with the authors Jonathan Rans and Angus Whyte who gave us useful information and support. Furthermore we connected to other universities to exchange experiences concerning RDM service planning. All that and our practical work in evaluating our own university went into the RISE-DE framework that has been published as a working paper on Zenodo in January 2019. Poster has been presented at the IDCC2019 in Melbourne/Australia, where it won the 1st place at the poster exhibition.
