Summary

Have you ever wondered how to keep an overview of those dozens of files that you generate during your research? How and where can you store them safely, and what is a Data Management Plan (DMP) good for? These are some of the key questions of research data management (RDM). RDM contributes significantly to the efficiency of everyday research, and it is an essential part of good research practice. In addition, RDM skills are increasingly important in professional careers in academia and beyond.

This course will enable Humanities researchers to organize, curate, store, and share their data according to current best practices. In addition to interactive lectures that convey the basis of good RDM, acquiring hands-on experience with practical examples will be a key component of this workshop. No previous technical knowledge required.
