Data Management Planning

In the course "Data management planning" students are familiarized with important aspects of data management planning along the data life cycle, i.e. data documentation & organization, data processing, data storage, data preservation and protection, archiving and publishing and data reuse and discovery.

Legal aspects of data sharing and reuse, and ethical aspects of data management (e.g. working with personal data) will also be covered. The course thus aims at equipping students with the required knowledge to write their own data management plan (DMP) according to funding requirements (e.g. SNSF). The course takes place as a 1-day face-to-face event with online learning components before and after the course.
