Our team of professionals with backgrounds in various academic disciplines offers trainings reagarding digital research with an emphasis on research data management and research software engineering. We offer courses that target researchers at every stage of their academic career.

All zedif courses are also open for interested students, especially for those working on a scientific thesis (Bachelor, Master, Staatsexamen, etc). In addition to that, the Project Data Literacy Jena (DaLiJe) offers further courses that are specifically designed for students at all stages of their study programmes (including at very early stages).
