Summer School 2020


«Yes, we’re open!» – unter diesem Motto fand an der UZH eine Summer School des Graduate Campus und der Hauptbibliothek zu Open Science statt. 23 angehende Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus der Schweiz diskutierten über das brandaktuelle Thema und vertieften es anhand von Praxisbeispielen.

Reviews & Impressions

  • «In China Open Data and Data Management isn’t as prevailing yet. I hope this develops there, too.» Besonders interessiert sei sie am Thema Daten Management. Als Neurowissenschaftlerin müsse sie eine grosse Datenmenge verwalten. Wie sie diese am besten organisiere und wie man einen Daten Management Plan verfasse, habe sie nun an der Summer School gelernt. «Also, I sometimes work with patients, so the data is sensitive; I wanted to know how to deal with sensitive data in the realm of open science and open data». Sizhu plant, das Gelernte in ihrer Forschung anzuwenden und ihre Daten offen zu teilen. «I also learned about the UZH Data Services and Open Access Center that helps you with questions regarding your data plan – that’s great!».

  • «Open Science is a big thing in Glasgow and Scottland in general – I wanted to see what the situation is here in Switzerland and learn new things about it.
    I also want to investigate the RENKU (Open Science Kollaborationsplattform des Swiss Science Data Centers) system more; really look into it deeper and use it actively. And I want to pass it on to colleagues and share these tools with them.»

    Christoph Turner, Doktorand der Psychologie an der Universität Fribourg, hat bereits durch sein Masterstudium in Glasgow Kenntnisse in Open Science erworben. (Bild: zVg)

  • «Durch meinen Master in Information and Data Management kannte ich mich in den Themen bereits aus. Ich will aber mein Wissen soweit vertiefen, dass ich es auch mit meinen Kolleginnen und Kollegen teilen kann. Insbesondere bin ich an praktischen Fragen rund um Datenmanagement, den Umgang mit sensiblen Daten, Daten Repositories und dem Teilen der eigenen Daten mit anderen interessiert. In Zukunft werde ich sicherlich die diskutierten Schritte und Checklisten für mich durchgehen, wenn ich etwas erfassen, publizieren oder speichern muss. Ich habe nun ein besseres Verständnis dafür, wo und wie man Daten speichern kann, sodass der Endnutzer diese auch benutzerfreundlich verwenden kann.»

  • Junge Forscherinnen und Forscher bildeten sich an der Summer School des
    Graduate Campus zum Thema Open Science weiter. Die Veranstaltung war
    eine der ersten der UZH, die wieder vor Ort stattfand – unter strikter
    Einhaltung der Hygienemassnahmen.
