The course is online\, in English\, and participation is free of charge.\nWe offer cutting-edge skills and knowledge essential for hand ling scientific data throughout their life cycle. The intensive five-day p rogram introduces participants to fundamental and advanced workflows and t ools in research data management (RDM) – specifically tailored to boost your academic career and meet today's funding requirements.\nParticipants will follow the entire life cycle of research data and learn how to find \, access\, collect\, integrate\, clean\, visualize\, and publish data. Us ing the GFBio DMP Tool\, attendees will create a Data Management Plan (DMP ) and map local plant occurrences with a digital fieldwork app. They will also integrate and clean datasets from repositories like GBIF and platform s like PlantHub\, utilize Jupyter and R for data analysis and visualizatio n\, and learn how to publish data in repositories such as PANGAEA.\nRenown ed experts from universities\, data centers\, and research institutions wi ll guide participants through essential RDM aspects\, including handling s patial and taxonomical data\, integrating diverse data sources\, and navig ating legal considerations. The course features highly interactive sessio ns with hands-on exercises and opportunities to network with peers and exp erts.\nThe program emphasizes the use of Jupyter Notebooks as a versatile RDM tool and development environment\, suitable for interdisciplinary work by combining multiple 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 con tent\nHow to integrate and clean data from different sources\nHow to set u p reproducible workflows for data processing and analysis\nHow to publish data according to the FAIR principles\n... and about legal aspects of hand ling and sharing data\n\nPlease note that spaces for our Seasonal School a re limited. Priority will be given to members of the iDiv Graduate School and to doctoral researchers from NFDI4Biodiversity partners\, but partici pants from all institutions are welcome to apply. Participants will recei ve a certificate of attendance upon successful completion.\nPrerequisites\ nParticipants need at least basic programming experience in R (e.g.\, know ing how to load data and run simple scripts). Python knowledge is recommen ded. To help you prepare\, we provide a list of required software installa tions and accounts\, as well as recommended training materials to easily r each the required level of data handling skills here.\n\nFees: Free of ch arge (no registration/attendance fees)\nRegistration opens: 29 June 2026\n Registration closes: 30 August 2026 (23:59 CEST)\n\n \nMore about our Sea sonal Schools\nAre you interested in more information about our Seasonal S chools? You can find the concept and published teaching materials from pre vious Seasonal Schools here.\nThe data will be processed in accordance to the Privacy Policy of the German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio).
