Course contents and objectives
The evolving landscape of research, publishing, and career trajectories presents both new opportunities and fresh challenges for those engaged in the social sciences. Increased emphasis on transparency, collaboration, and data-driven insights is redefining how we conduct, communicate, and measure the impact of scholarly work. As such, developing a robust understanding of Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science (OS) practices has become a critical skillset for early-career researchers. Navigating these shifting demands is key not only for completion of doctoral thesis and publishing success but also for enhancing research productivity and seizing broader career opportunities.
Research Data Management and Open Science Training at the Summer School for Social Sciences Methods
This intensive, comprehensive summer school course focused on research data management and open research data practices is specifically tailored for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in the social sciences. Designed to follow the research data cycle, the program seamlessly blends academic theory with hands-on activities. We use a dynamic data management plan as the central project, allowing you to apply the learnings to your ongoing research directly.
By bringing your own research data (or research ideas) to the program, you can actively engage in the learning process, ensuring all concepts and techniques have immediate relevance to your specific project and research field.
This immersive experience goes beyond just technical skills. We delve into the ethical considerations, values, and professional attitudes associated with the application of responsible RDM and OS principles and practices, equipping you for a successful career path whether within academia or beyond.
