On September 16, 2025, the University of Rostock officially launched the electronic lab notebook eLabFTW, marking a significant step toward more efficient, transparent, and reproducible research.
This milestone was made possible through close collaboration between the Research Data Taskforce, the Electronic Lab Notebooks Working Group (AG ELN), and dedicated colleagues from research and infrastructure across the university.
The INF project team of our SFB 1270 ELAINE was actively involved in shaping this process — from early planning to final implementation.
We were pleased to contribute alongside colleagues from the IT and Media Centre (ITMZ), the University Library, and another Collaborative Research Centre.
A great example of what can be achieved through collaboration across disciplines and institutions. A big thank-you to everyone who made this possible!
State-of-the-art research data management — implemented together.
