Data Stewardship
Data Stewardship
Learn how to handle your research data! How do you best plan for the activities of collecting, storing, processing, analyzing and archiving your data? How do you best structure your data to keep track of all data and all versions of your data? How do you find existing data to add onto your own data?
The course will walk you through all the steps of research data management, from finding relevant data to publishing your own dataset. The course content is tailored to the needs of PhD candidates and combines practical exercises with theoretical contents. It offers phd candidates the opportunity to develop skills that are sought-after within both the academic and private sector. This course was developed by the DocEnhance project (see more information here).
