Open Science and Data Management - Mandatory and/ or Beneficial?

Seminar for Ph.D. students and researchers

 

On Friday, May 5th, starting at 11 am, the DataCite Estonia Consortium is organizing a seminar at Tallinn University of Technology (room SOC-212) aimed at informing researchers about the importance of open science and research data management and sharing practical advice for better managing research projects and work.

 

The seminar will cover the requirements and principles of open science and research data management, including methods for collecting, documenting, and sharing data, archiving, and ethical aspects. In addition, relevant practices and services offered by universities will be presented.

Specialists from Leiden, Göttingen, and Helsinki universities will speak about the principles of open science, research data management opportunities, and practices. Representatives from the Estonian Research Council, universities, and the DataCite Estonia consortium will present the Estonian perspective and experiences.

Researchers, Ph.D. students, and research support staff, for whom implementing the principles of open science is important from a future perspective, are welcome to attend the event.

The seminar is open for both on-site attendance in Tallinn and online participation. For on-site attendance, please register by April 26th.
