Description: 

The course is for PhD students in the first half of their PhD programme. AAU wants to increase the awareness on good data handling practises and compliance with laws and regulations. The course objective is thus to promote good research practises by helping the participant make informed choices in relation to planning and executing research processes such as data collecting, data analysis, data storing and sharing. 

The course will take a closer look at what constitutes research data and introduces data handling methods and practises. The course consists of two half-day workshops aimed at supporting the individual PhD student in planning the data handling that is inherent to the PhD project. 

15 – 16 hours of homework drafting a data management plan (DMP) is to be expected between 1st and 2nd workshop. At sign-up, participants will be enrolled in both workshops, and attendance at both are required.
