Have you ever wondered what research data management is all about? Why is it so important? What is special about managing data from agrosystem research? Then de.NBI and FAIRagro have created the perfect interactive training for you - a mix of presentations and interactive exercises!
More and more funders require research data to be published, archived, and accompanied by Data Management Plans (DMPs) to distribute their grants. We will show you how Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) and DMP-Tools can facilitate this, in addition to boosting the efficiency of your day-to-day work during the research project.
In just six hours, you will first learn the basic principles of Research Data Management (RDM, October 8th), before you will have the opportunity to learn how to translate research project proposals into appropriate DMPs (October 9th) - what does a DMP contain? Why is a DMP useful for you and your project - beyond fulfilling the funders requirements? How can you create a DMP and what Tools can help? Last but not least you will learn the fundamentals of ELNs (October 10th), their advantages over paper notebooks, and how to effectively set up and customize your ELN for your specific research needs.
Data management experts will guide you through the basics of RDM, the do's and don'ts, and how to improve the management of data produced in agrosystem research projects. Following a brief introduction to the research data lifecycle and the FAIR data principles, we will
- explore the concept of a DMP and ELNs through interactive hands-on sessions.
- focus on agricultural data, such as soil data, geospatial data, genetic data, phenotypic data, sensor data and general field data.
- examine components, language, software and examples of DMPs.
- assess potential problems and solutions and self-evaluate a draft DMP for our own projects in alignment with the FAIR principles
- describe best practices for data entry, management, and security within an ELN environment.
- show collaborative features of ELNs and how to streamline communication within your team.
- talk about compliance and regulatory considerations when using ELNs in research.
This workshop is for anyone working with agrosystem science data, interested in active learning, and gaining skills in both research data management and writing DMPs.
