Better Data Practices for Research: A Workshop

Google map

Coffee and lunch provided. 

Effective data management supports research integrity, reproducibility, and the long-term value of data. This workshop will introduce practical approaches for implementing better data practices across the research lifecycle — from organizing and describing data during active projects to preparing data for sharing and reuse. Topics will include directory structures and file naming conventions, copyright considerations for research data and code, and documentation formats such as data dictionaries, metadata standards, and README files. Through hands-on activities, participants will apply these practices to common research scenarios.

The workshop is targeted at early career researchers, but is open to researchers at every career stage. However, space is limited.
