Data Management Plans: Online workshop for researchers, Apr 17, 2024

Description

Data Management Plans (DMPs) are often required by research funders and writing them has become an important skill for researchers. A DMP is also a useful tool that helps you plan your research data management, assess and avoid risks, and coordinate with your collaborators. In this online workshop we will go through some of the topics that are common to many DMP templates, such as:

• Where your data should be stored, how it can be shared with collaborators during your project
• Some steps that help you make your data FAIR (Findable-Accessible-Interoperable-Reusable)
• Open access to research data, publishing in data repositories
• Legal and ethical dimensions of your research data: protecting personal, sensitive, confidential data

You will be encouraged to consider the topics from the point of view of your own project or bring your own DMP if you have already started. Resources for getting further training and help will also be discussed.

Who can participate?

This online event is mainly intended for Aalto researchers and doctoral students, but everyone who is interested in the topic can participate. Some of the examples (e.g., data storage solutions) covered in the session are mainly relevant to those working or studying at Aalto. No prior knowledge is needed. Participants who want to prepare their questions in advance can study the previous recording of our DMP training (30-minute lecture, worksheet). The event is free of charge.

Learning Outcomes

You will learn about the topics usually covered in DMPs and have practical tips for writing them. You will learn how DMPs can help you plan your research data management over the course of your project’s life cycle. You will also learn about additional resources to further aid you in planning your research data management in more detail.

Format

A 1.5-hour online workshop with presentation of the DMP sections and discussion of each section. The session will not be recorded. Participants will receive a worksheet including links to further resources.

Schedule and location

The training will be held online via Zoom on April 17, at 12–1.30 PM Eastern European Summer Time (EEST).
