Workshop "Introduction to Research Data Management"
Goal
The responsible and far-sighted handling of digital research data is becoming increasingly important. Management, storage, exchange and access to large amounts of data, including the corresponding metadata, is challenging.
In this workshop, researchers learn in a first block basic skills to handle their research data safely and sustainably. Ways to publish and re-use research data are discussed. The new “Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice”, published by the DFG, are addressed in the context of research data.
In a second block, the functionalities of the data exchange and analysis platform Kadi4Mat will be discussed on the basis of the Kadi4Mat web interface. Using examples, the researchers learn how to collaboratively work on a common description of research data and how to document, manage and share their own research data.

Workshop Conflicts and Good Scientific Practice
Scope:
Based on the DFG memorandum "Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice" participants will receive an overview of the rules of good scientific practice and how to deal with scientific misconduct.
Case studies will be used to illustrate conflictual situations in everyday research and options for dealing with them will be practiced.
The course offers the opportunity to reflect on values and attitudes as scientists and to ask and discuss questions such as:
- How to deal with the pressure to publish?
- How to deal with conflicts (unequal treatment, conflicts of interest, conflicts for resources, mobbing,…) with my colleagues and / or supervisors?
- Regarding good scientific practice, what are the responsibilities of my supervisors?
- How should I take action, when I encounter / suspect scientific misconduct?
