Short summary
Research data only retain their value when they are properly documented and preserved. This report summarizes insights from a seminar on data archiving for early-career researchers. Contributions from data repositories and research projects showed that early planning, clear metadata, and shared responsibility improve data reuse, reproducibility, and scientific impact. Continued training and community standards will further strengthen research quality.
