This presentation was developed by NFDI4BIOIMAGE and held online as part of the CRC 1551 Data Week on 05. May 2026. It provides a general introduction to research data management (RDM) and public data deposition and highlights their specific relevance in research. Furthermore, it introduces OMERO as a platform for structured data storage, metadata management, and collaborative access and introduces repositories for imaging data. The slides are intended for educational use and may serve as a resource for teaching and training in research data management within the life sciences.
