HeFDI Data School
Starting in October 2024, the HeFDI Data School will be entering a new round of online training courses.
History of HeFDI Data School
In view of the increasingly important role of informed and organized handling of research data and the associated need for high-quality training courses for researchers, which are only provided locally in a few cases, HeFDI piloted a cross-location training course in 2021. This pilot was already designed as an online offer in order to provide the lowest possible threshold of access for all researchers from Hesse. Thanks to the cooperation of several locations in the planning and implementation, it was possible to create a broader and more in-depth range of courses while maintaining the same level of local resources. This pilot was very well received, so that the HeFDI Data School format was iterated in the following two years and expanded into a federated service.
Contents of HeFDI Data School
The HeFDI Data School offers both general introductions to the basics of research data management as well as in-depth training on important aspects, such as the creation of data management plans, data organization or legal aspects such as data protection and property rights.
Target group of HeFDI Data School
It is aimed equally at doctoral students and research staff of Hessian universities.
Important note: All courses will be held in German!
