Data Management

Welcome to the course – Data Management (2025)

In this course you will get a thorough introduction to the value and importance of Data Management and how to do it. Data management is becoming more and more of a requirement by directives, institutions, and funders. The aim is to help you with your own data management by providing background, practice, and tools.

Our focus will be on 2 main topics and how they connect.

• The FAIR-principles for research data
• The Data Management Plan (template)

The course will introduce the FAIR principles, why they are important, and how to implement them in your research. We will go through the topics of the typical data management plan, you will work on your own as part of the homework, and we will discuss each other’s experiences.

The course is split in two workshops. 1 full day and ½ a day two weeks apart.

Before the 1^st day of teaching, 4 hours of homework is expected to get an introduction to the topics and materials. Before the 2^nd day, you are expected to do 15 hours of homework drafting a DMP and a dataset-exercise. At sign-up, you will be enrolled in both workshops, and attendance at both are required to pass.
