Research data infrastructures (RDIs) serve to manage and share research products in a systematic way to enable research across all scales and disciplinary boundaries Their services support researchers in data management and collaborative analysis throughout the entire data lifecycle.

For this fostering of FAIRness and openness, e.g. by applying established standards for metadata, data, and/or scientific workflows, is crucial. Through their offerings and services, RDIs can shape research practices and are strongly connected with the communities of users that identify and associate themselves with them.

Naturally, the potential of RDIs faces many challenges. Even though it is clear that RDIs are indispensable for solving big societal problems, their wide adoption requires a cultural change within research communities. At the same time RDIs themselves must be developed further to serve user needs. And, also at the same time, the sustainability of RDIs must be improved, international cooperation increased, and duplication of development efforts must be avoided. To be able to provide a community of diverse career stages and backgrounds with a convincing infrastructure that is established beyond national and institutional boundaries, new collaboration patterns and funding approaches must be tested so that RDIs foster cultural change in academia and be a reliable foundation for FAIR and open research. This needs to happen while academia struggles with improving researcher evaluation, with a continuing digital disruption, with enhancing scholarly communication, and with diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In Earth System Science (ESS), several research data infrastructures and components are currently developed on different regional and disciplinary scales , all of which face these challenges at some level. solutions
This session provides a forum to exchange methods, stories, and ideas to enable cultural change and international collaboration in scientific communities, to bridge the gap between user needs, and to build sustainable software solutions.
