In this course, you learn the basics of how you can take care of your research data. The main output of the course is a Data Management Plan (DMP) for your project.
We will address aspects like storage, archiving, publishing, documentation and how to keep your data secure. The course is aimed at PhD students at the beginning of their research project (± 1st year) from:
- Academisch Centrum Tandheelkunde Amsterdam (ACTA)
- Faculty of Science (Beta)
- Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences (FGB)
The main output of the course is a Data Management Plan (DMP) for your project. If you have a DMP already, you can continue working on this existing DMP. If your existing DMP is complete, specific and up-to-date, there is a possibility to do an alternative assignment.
