    FDZ UB Mannheim: Three challenges in establishing sustainable research data management, data science, and AI services

    No full text
    Academic libraries are increasingly expanding their role in research support by offering data science services. The research data center at the Mannheim University Library is keeping pace with this trend, creating integrated research data management, data science, and artificial intelligence services. These developments enhance community engagement, streamlines internal processes, and fosters innovation across the library. In this paper, we describe three challenges of developing these emerging services: defining the evolving scope of our offerings, building key partnerships, and planning for long-term sustainability

    Does recognition of foreign qualifications pay off? : The German case

    No full text
    This dissertation investigates whether official recognition of foreign professional qualifications improves immigrants’ labor market outcomes in Germany. Using a mixed-methods approach consisting of a field experiment, a survey experiment, and analyses of survey data, the thesis uncovers a complex and contradictory picture. A correspondence test shows that applicants who submit a recognition certificate receive fewer interview invitations than those without it, indicating that recognition may signal higher labor costs or fail to reduce employers’ uncertainties. A survey experiment, however, reveals that employers state a preference for recognized qualifications, highlighting a gap between hiring intentions and hiring behavior. In contrast, survey data analyses demonstrate that full recognition consistently enhances qualitative employment outcomes—especially wages and occupational status—even when it does not improve employment chances. Overall, the findings suggest that recognition yields benefits primarily after labor market entry, while offering limited advantages during recruitment. The study underscores the need to address employer perceptions and structural barriers that weaken the signalling power of recognition
