Events
In addition to the workshops as part of the RDM-Curriculum of UA Ruhr, we offer other events and activities on various RDM topics.
RDS @ Research Academy Ruhr
Together with TU Dortmund University and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, we regularly offer workshops on research data management (RDM) for postdocs as part of the Research Academy Ruhr.
In the workshop we will work together on the following topics
- Organization and structuring of research data
- Possibilities of data documentation
- Publication options for research data
- Sustainable storage and archiving of research data
- Data management in the application process and presentation in a data management plan
On June 27 and 28, 2024, we will offer the workshop Research Data Management - how to collect, use, store, and publish research data in English.
RDS @ Publication Days
The Publication Days are an annual series of events for PhD students at the UDE. In lectures and workshops, experts from the University Library provide information on topics such as open science, publication channels, copyright or research data management and answer your questions.
As part of the Publication Days on May 14, 2024, RDS and TU Dortmund University are offering the workshop "Open Science Framework".
Special events
These events can be offered on request
Introduction to R
R is a powerful programming language and statistical environment that is free to use and offers extensive data analysis and graphical visualization capabilities. This course takes participants from the initial introduction to R to the basics needed to further develop their skills independently or in subsequent R courses. In terms of content, the course covers the basics of programming in R, handling files, filtering and further manipulation of data, and can be extended to include basics of visualization and modeling. The course consists of short lecture sections, live coding, and many hands-on exercises to directly apply your new learning.
Prerequisites: No prior knowledge of R; computer with the latest version of R and RStudio (participants will receive installation instructions before the course begins).
Dates: currently no new dates
Carpentries
The Carpentries format aims to impart basic knowledge on three different IT topics, e.g. programming languages, data structures and data management, in a two-day workshop or in individual modules. This can be further worked on individually.
Workshops are offered in the areas of data science (Data Carpentry), software programming (Software Carpentry) and also specifically for libraries (Library Carpentry).
The Carpentry workshops take place online or as a face-to-face event.
Prerequisites: No prior knowledge; participants will receive installation instructions prior to the start of the course, if necessary.
Dates: On request, we can offer Carpentries as a 1-2 day event or individual modules in presence or online, in German or English.
Research Data Day 2023
RDS @ Research Data Day
On November 14, 2023, the 3rd Research Data Day took place in NRW.
Under the motto "Promoting and refining data: Bring your data treasure to light", there was a cross-location online event organized by the State Initiative for Research Data Management - fdm.nrw in the morning.
In the afternoon, the RDS invited participants to get to the bottom of RDM together with researchers from the UDE.
