Digital research data are generated or collected in almost every research project. Researchers are faced with the challenge of not only managing and documenting these data, but also preserving them and even making them accessible for the public and for further research. What is considered research data in these disciplines? Which guidelines and good academic practice policies are important to know right from the start and during writing your dissertation? And where can you find support? The workshop will also cover the following topics:

• Basic introduction to research data and research data management, focussed on humanities and social sciences
• Funder requirements
• Data management plans
• Organisation, documentation and storage of data
• Basic information about publication of research data
• The basics of dealing with sensitive data
• The FAIR data guidelines

Two dates:

• Thursday, July 3, 2025 (09:00–12:00)
• Friday, July 4, 2025 (09:00–12:00)

Instructors: Dr. Cosima Wagner; Esther Asef
