Competence in handling research data is a central prerequisite for Open Science – without good documentation and sustainment, there is no FAIRly (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) published data.

To build up this competence in the various fields and institutions of the Berlin University Alliance, skilled trainers are needed. This November, the Center for Open and Responsible Research and the project Collaboratively Advancing Research Data Support offer a Train-the-Trainer workshop on research data management for Open Science. In three days, Dr. Katarzyna Biernacka, trainer and data steward at the UniSysCat Cluster of Excellence, will equip participants without previous experience to give own trainings in research data management at their institution.

When? November 18th, 19th, and 20th from 9am to 4:30pm.*

Where? In person at the Technical University Berlin.

What will I learn? You will learn about both research data management (research data life cycle, data management plans, documentation, storage, backup, long-term archiving, and publication as open data) and didactic principles and methods as well the development of workshop and training formats.

Who can participate? All researchers at Freie Universität, Humboldt-Universität, Technische Universität, and Charité Universitätsmedizin who would like to offer FDM training at their institution in the future are cordially invited to participate in the free workshop. In addition, members of non-university institutions in Berlin's knowledge space can register for a waiting list for any remaining spots. No prior knowledge of the content is necessary.

Registration: Since spots are limited to 16, please register until October 31st 2025 via this link.
