In addition to our training courses on research data management (RDM) and research software engineering (RSE) topics, we also offer pedagogical qualification in these areas. These include the Train-the-Trainer Workshop on Research Data Management and the Carpentries Instructor Training.
We offer both training courses irregularly in coordination with the Carpentries and the FDM community. If you are interested in participating in one of these workshops, please feel free to email us at zedif@uni-jena.de.
RDM Train-the-Trainer Workshop
In the two-day train-the-trainer workshops on research data management, you will not only acquire in-depth knowledge in the field of research data management, but also the necessary knowledge on the social, didactic and organizational aspects of conducting an RDM workshop.
The RDM Train-the-Trainer workshops take place irregularly and are announced via various research data management mailing lists — for example https://lserv.uni-jena.de/mailman/listinfo/rdm-thueringenExternal link. If you would like to participate, please email us at zedif@uni-jena.de; we will pass you on or, if there is sufficient demand, we organise a workshop.
The workshop concept was developed as part of the research project FDMentorExternal link (German only), funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. All workshop contents, materials, and references to further literature can be found in the workshop conceptExternal link (German only), now in the fifth version. An English translation is currently in preparation.
