From ELN to FAIR Research Infrastructure: Our Vision for RSpace

Research Data Management

We had a wonderful start into 2026 following an invitation by the Competence Network for Open Science – Data Steward PL to present our vision for achieving FAIR data workflows with RSpace. We discussed how vertical interoperability enables the flow of data and metadata across tools, storage, compute, and repositories throughout the research lifecycle. The presentation reflected on how RSpace leverages persistent identifiers, standardized metadata, and open practices to facilitate an integrated research infrastructure, enabling FAIR research workflows at scale.

You can find the presentation "RSpace - From Electronic Laboratory Notebook to FAIR Research Data Orchestration” on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18253482).

RSpace is more than an ELN — and now our website says so!

News

RSpace has grown well beyond its ELN roots — it now integrates sample management, research workflow orchestration, and FAIR-enabling infrastructure like persistent identifiers and metadata standards into one cohesive platform. In early March we relaunched researchspace.com with a new look and structure that reflects this evolution across three tightly integrated facets: Research Orchestrator, ELN, and Sample Management.
