Reading Material +
Do you want to learn about Open Data and what it means to make your data FAIR? Do you have to write a data management plan for a current or future project but don’t know where to begin? Are you unsure about copyright or how to manage your sensitive data? Are you confused about the various Open Access publishing options and struggle to find a trustworthy journal? Apply for our Open Science Summer School, and have your questions answered!
In the vast majority of academic disciplines, competences related to data management have become essential, not least because the research environment of today is increasingly data-driven. What is more, the shift towards Open Science, that is, the shift towards open access to data and publications, is progressing rapidly. Funders require that research results be made publicly available without restriction, aiming to make science or the generation of knowledge more open, transparent, and collaborative.
During the UZH Open Science Summer School, you will have the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the world of Open Data, Research Data Management, and Open Access. National and international experts will guide you through hands-on workshops and provide theoretical input on various topics related to these subfields of Open Science. You will spend an entire week focusing not only on the opportunities that Open Science has to offer, but also on the (disciplinary) challenges that may come along with it.
Topics of talks and workshops include:
- Open Data, FAIR Data, and the reproducibility of research
- writing a data management plan
- Research Data Management infrastructures
- copyright and licenses
- how to deal with sensitive data
- Open Access publishing
- predatory journals
- Open Peer Review
Target audience
We welcome applications from doctoral students and postdocs of all Swiss universities, universities of applied sciences and universities of teacher education, as well as of all academic disciplines. Doctoral students can earn 2 ECTS. All talks and workshops will be held in English, and fluency in both spoken and written English is therefore required. (Requirement: working with data?)
Dates
July 11-15, 2022
Venue
The Summer School will take place at the University of Zurich (City Campus) and the Zentralbibliothek (Zurich Central Library).
