Understanding proper research data management is becoming more and more important to researchers and students across disciplines. Data management plans are increasingly required by funders, and researchers urgently need data management and open science skills to enhance the impact of their research. Safe ways of processing data are particularly important to those working with personal data or confidential data.

Participation is free. No previous knowledge is needed. Participation is free and no prior knowledge is needed. All webinars are held in English.
