  description:\nAcquire in-depth Research Data Management knowledge in just
  one week!\nNFDI4Biodiversity and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiv
 ersity Research iDiv present the fourth Seasonal School on Data Management
  in Biodiversity and Environmental Science from 5 to 9 October 2026. The 
 course is online\, in English\, and participation is free of charge.\nWe o
 ffer cutting-edge skills and knowledge essential for handling scientific d
 ata throughout their life cycle. The intensive five-day program introduces
  participants to fundamental and advanced workflows and tools in research 
 data management (RDM) – specifically tailored to boost your academic ca
 reer and meet today's funding requirements.\nParticipants will follow the 
 entire life cycle of research data and learn how to find\, access\, colle
 ct\, integrate\, clean\, visualize\, and publish data. Using the GFBio DMP
  Tool\, attendees will create a Data Management Plan (DMP) and map local p
 lant occurrences with a digital fieldwork app. They will also integrate an
 d clean datasets from repositories like GBIF and platforms like PlantHub\,
  utilize Jupyter and R for data analysis and visualization\, and learn how
  to publish data in repositories such as PANGAEA.\nRenowned experts from u
 niversities\, data centers\, and research institutions will guide particip
 ants through essential RDM aspects\, including handling spatial and taxono
 mical data\, integrating diverse data sources\, and navigating legal consi
 derations. The course features highly interactive sessions with hands-on 
 exercises and opportunities to network with peers and experts.\nThe progra
 m emphasizes the use of Jupyter Notebooks as a versatile RDM tool and deve
 lopment environment\, suitable for interdisciplinary work by combining mul
 tiple programming languages.\nJoin us to learn...\n\nHow to create a data 
 management plan\nHow to use Jupyter in combination with R (and Python) as 
 working environment and Quarto to create reproducible content\nHow to inte
 grate and clean data from different sources\nHow to set up reproducible wo
 rkflows for data processing and analysis\nHow to publish data according to
  the FAIR principles\n... and about legal aspects of handling and sharing 
 data\n\nPlease note that spaces for our Seasonal School are limited. Prior
 ity will be given to members of the iDiv Graduate School and to doctoral r
 esearchers from NFDI4Biodiversity partners\, but participants from all in
 stitutions are welcome to apply. Participants will receive a certificate 
 of attendance upon successful completion.\nPrerequisites\nParticipants nee
 d at least basic programming experience in R (e.g.\, knowing how to load d
 ata and run simple scripts). Python knowledge is recommended. To help you 
 prepare\, we provide a list of required software installations and account
 s\, as well as recommended training materials to easily reach the required
  level of data handling skills here.\n\nFees: Free of charge (no registra
 tion/attendance fees)\nRegistration opens: 29 June 2026\nRegistration clos
 es: 30 August 2026 (23:59 CEST)\n\n \nMore about our Seasonal Schools\nAr
 e you interested in more information about our Seasonal Schools? You can f

 hools here.\nThe data will be processed in accordance to the Privacy Poli
 cy of the German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio). The detailed vers
 ion can be found here: https://www.gfbio.org/privacy-policy.\nPlease feel
