These decisions must be taken unanimously.

12 -How to ensure similar rewards each year was discussed. It was also pointed out that a talk at a conference ideally comes with a travel budget. This may be included in a funding request for the ErUM-Data Hub 2. Angela is optimistic that partners from industry could be found as sponsors. All DB members are asked to think about sponsoring options so that we can discuss them at the next DB meeting.
13 +Please note: Contributions not directly related to digitization cannot be considered.
