  abstract     = {{The successful provision of research data does not depend solely on the technical quality of individual systems. Rather, what is crucial is how technical, organizational, and communicative dimensions are interconnected and whether this results in recognizable added value for researchers in their day-to-day work. In this context, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors influence the willingness to actively and continuously use research data management (RDM) systems.This article synthesizes experiences from two collaborating subprojects on information infrastructure (INF) within two Collaborative Research Centers. Both develop and operate RDM structures for interdisciplinary research consortia in the field of engineering and face comparable challenges: Adhering to the rules of good scientific practice when handling data is under pressure in today’s world; the benefits of individual data entries sometimes remain abstract, and additional process steps can reduce acceptance of technical solutions. The effort involved is primarily evaluated based on whether, from the researchers’ perspective, it yields a recognizable benefit. Based on this, specific approaches for user-oriented integration of different RDM levels are presented. These include the integration of RDM tools into existing research tools and workflows, cross-subproject access to information, as well as SPARQL-based search capabilities and future approaches to knowledge exploration. One concrete example is an implemented adapter that automatically transfers data sets from existing Excel files and electronic lab notebook entries from eLabFTW into the RDM system, thereby reducing the number of required process steps. Since the adapter was deployed, a measurable increase in the number of datasets imported into the RDM system has been observed. Such technical and procedural measures are complemented by workshops, personalized support, systematic feedback, and the continuous adaptation of the systems to the needs of researchers.This poster illustrates that RDM systems must be understood as sociotechnical systems. It is only through the interplay of infrastructure, process integration, communication, and perceived benefits that individual RDM developments can be transformed into a practical service. The collaboration between the two INF subprojects makes it possible to pool experiences, solution approaches, and transferable design principles across institutions and research consortia.}},
