asennhenn@atb-potsdam.de; bsturm@atb- potsdam.de Introduction This use-case develops a comprehensive data platform for the Leibniz Innovation Farm for Sustainable Bio- economy (InnoHof), a distributed research infrastructure established to demonstrate circular bio-economy approaches. The platform is designed to support interdisciplinary research activities spanning agricultural production systems, downstream bio-economic processes, and environmental functions such as climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation. By integrating heterogeneous datasets generated across ongoing and future research projects, the platform provides the basis for structured data sharing and evidence-based knowledge transfer to researchers, policymakers, industry, and society. Methodologies The platform will incorporate data from ongoing and future regional, national, and European research projects. These include agronomic and bio-economic process data, natural background information, and sensor data from fields and livestock facilities. Because data usage agreements differ across projects, the platform will implement differentiated access arrangements. In the initial stage, data will be made available to project partners; in a subsequent stage, selected datasets and outputs will be accessible to broader user groups. Platform functionalities, including stakeholder-relevant indicators, will be co-defined by software developers and researchers and refined through iterative feedback sessions. Output • Data Sharing Platform (2027): Platform that provides access for a variety of users to InnoHof data collection. • Benchmark Datasets (2026–2027): Published datasets from InnoHof, made openly available whenever possible. • Annual Progress Reports (2025–2027): Contributions to the AgData Use Case Monitor. Impact The use case establishes the data infrastructure required to support interdisciplinary research and knowledge transfer within InnoHof. By enabling structured access to heterogeneous datasets, it facilitates the assessment of synergies between agricultural production, waste utilisation, wetland systems, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity conservation. The platform is intended to support researchers, policymakers, industry, and society with reliable and reusable research data. What I Can Offer • A use case integrating heterogeneous datasets from agricultural, environmental, and bio-economic research activities. • Practical experience with project-specific data usage agreements and staged data sharing. • Co-development and validation of indicators relevant to multiple stakeholder groups. • Iterative feedback from researchers and future users to improve usability. What I Need • Approaches for integrating heterogeneous research datasets into a common platform. • Solutions for managing variable access and publication conditions. • Exchange on methods for developing stakeholder-oriented indicators and user-centered platform functionalities. • Collaboration with other use cases facing similar challenges in research data management and knowledge transfer.
