Data-powered Innovation Jam · 2026-05-12 · 54 min
What do Red Hot Chili Peppers , German techno, and research data have in common? More than you’d think. In this episode of Our Jam, we sit down with York Sure‑Vetter , founding director of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, to explore what it truly takes to build trustworthy, high‑quality research data in the age of AI. From ontologies and semantics to FAIR principles and long‑term data stewardship, the conversation bridges deep technical insight with real‑world impact. Along the way, York shares personal stories, lessons from international collaboration, and a philosophy inspired by the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Give It Away . It’s a thoughtful discussion on openness, trust, and why data like music only gains real power when it’s shared responsibly.
