Description:

The long-term digital availability of research data is an important aspect of research data management that can extend over the different phases of the data lifecycle. This course provides a general overview of the topic of long-term availability of data. In addition to the various components that should be considered for long-term availability, the characteristics of sustainable, long-term capable file formats are explained and possible criteria for the selection of research data for long-term availability are presented. The course is aimed at anyone interested in creating the best possible conditions for the long-term availability of their research data right from the start of their research work.

The participants 

• know the advantages of long-term availability of research data
• know the various components that long-term availability involves

• know possible criteria for selecting research data for long-term availability

* Workshops from the RDM area can only be credited for the kick-off seminar or within the WiN certificate if a total of at least 4 hours have been completed. The composition of the RDM modules is freely selectable.

For reasons of respect and fairness towards all participants and the workshop leaders, participants who miss more than 10% of the workshop are considered not to be present. You will therefore not receive a certificate and you will not be able to use the workshop in question to unlock funds or acquire further qualifications.

Before you register, please confirm with your supervisor/employer that you are free to participate in the course on that date.
