Catharina Vaendel, David Groep (Nikhef)
Description

Colleagues of Nikhef and CWI will take you through the world of Research Data Management, in a mix of theoretical and practical courses. The goal of the day is to give you the knowledge, setup and experience to intertwine RDM in your (daily) work/research. Including (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • FAIR principles, Dublin Core Metadata standard, create your own ORCID
  • How to fill in a (mock) data management plan & Code of Conduct
  • Adding licenses for data and software re-usability, and why this is crucial
  • Research information repositories (Zenodo, arXiv); how to use them
  • Importance of, and how to do (immutable) journal keeping
  • How to relate journal entries (and Jupyterhub) to corresponding data
  • Collaborating with safe and privacy-preserving tools

 

Note: PhD candidates enrolled in the Nikhef's National Graduate School of Subatomic Physics (OSAF) are required to attend this data management course at least once before their graduation. More information.
