The University of Münster regularly hosts events on the topic of research data management, organized and carried out by the Service Center for Data Management (SCDM).

Training courses and workshops

In addition to our current events, further training courses and workshops on specific issues of research data management are actually in the conception phase. If you are interested in specific training courses, please contact the Service Center for Data Management.

Past events

  • 16.01.2025: 10:00–12:00 "Research data management"

    The workshop will focus on central aspects of research data management. After a general introduction, practical examples will be given to provide best practices for participants’ own scientific work, such as publishing or sharing research data. Moreover, there will be time for discussions and a broad Q&A session.

    In particular, the following topics will be covered:

    1. Research data organization: keeping the track!
    2. Storage, preservation, and publication of research data
    3. Licenses for software, data(bases), and publications
    4. Dealing with data management plans
    5. Research data services at the University of Münster

    Objectives:

    • Become familiar with FAIR principles and the data lifecycle
    • Understand how to use metadata in daily scientific work
    • Get to know ways to publish and preserve research data
    • Know which licenses can be used for your data and publications
    • Learn how to set up data management plans
    • Get an overview of RDM services at the University of Münster

    Target group: doctoral and postdoctoral researchers
    Date: 16.01.2025
    Language: The event will be held in English.
    Facilitators: Dr. Frank Berkemeier, Wibke Fellermann

  • 15.01.2025: 09:00–12:00 "Digital publishing & open access"

    The workshop will cover key aspects of digital academic publishing. Examples from practice will illustrate the overview and provide impulses for participants’ own scientific work. The presentation of several topics will alternate with Q&A sessions:

    1. Open access: what and why?
    2. "Who am I, and if so... really that many?" – Author Identification
    3. Legal aspects: author contracts, licenses, secondary publishing rights
    4. My dissertation is finished – now how can I publish it?
    5. Your library is more than books: publishing and funding services by the library
    6. Watch out: predatory activities in science

    Objectives:

    • Get to know a variety of publication processes and be aware of the challenges and pitfalls of publishing
    • Be aware that there are, among others, important legal aspects to consider when publishing
    • Know how to submit and publish your dissertation
    • Learn about the publishing services offered by the library
    • Learn about the funding opportunities for your open access publications

    Target group: doctoral and postdoctoral researchers
    Date: 15.01.2025
    Language: The event will be held in English.
    Facilitators: Wibke Fellermann, Dr. Viola Voß

  • 12.11.2024, all day: 4th Research Data Day 2024: "Into the Data Garden: Let your research bloom!"

    Welcome to the Fourth Day of Research Data in NRW taking place on November 12, 2024! This year's theme is "Into the Data Garden: Let your research bloom!" Join us for a dynamic program that brings together researchers and experts from across North Rhine-Westphalia to explore best practices and new developments in Research Data Management (FDM).
    The morning will feature a keynote address by Professor Dr. Björn Usadel of FAIRgro and Dataplant, as well as three lightning talks highlighting real-world examples of successful FDM implementation.
    In addition to these exciting presentations, participating universities will offer local afternoon programs showcasing their own FDM services and resources. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the support available to you at the University of Münster, and to connect with colleagues who are passionate about data management.

    We look forward to your participation! Information on the event program can be found on the special page for Research Data Day 2024

    Target group: Members of the University of Münster
    Date: 12.11.2024

  • 8.10.2024: 10:15 – 11:45 a.m. "Digital publishing and research data management. Strategies for a successful funding application"

    Digital data is generated in practically all scientific work. Examples include measurement results, photos or digital editions of historical texts. The handling of such data is part of good scientific practice, which is why third-party funding bodies now almost invariably require this aspect to be addressed in project proposals.
    A clear strategy for the management and publication of research data and results is therefore crucial for a successful third-party funding application. The lecture will present aspects that should support the development of such a strategy: What tools exist to capture and manage research data in a structured way? Which storage locations are available? How can data and results be published digitally? What licenses are available for this? What opportunities and financial support are available for publishing Open Access? What support do the University of Münster and ULB offer?

    Target group: The event is aimed at all scientists of the University of Münster.
    Dates: Regular, once per semester. The lecture is integrated into the series "Third-party Funding in a Nutshell", which is organized by the SAFIR Research Funding Advisory Service. The dates of the series as well as information on how to participate can be found on the SAFIR Research Funding Advisory website.
    Language: The event will be held in German.
