The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin.Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

Objectives

• Participants are able to name central aspects of research data management in human and social sciences

• Participants are able to name research data management services

Content

Digital research data are generated or collected in almost every research project. Researchers are faced with the challenge of not only managing and documenting these data, but also preserving them and even making them accessible for the public and for further research. The workshop offers a general introduction to the various aspects of research data management in the humanities and social sciences. What is considered research data in these disciplines? Which guidelines and good academic practice policies are important to know right from the start and during writing your dissertation? And where can you find support? The workshop will also cover the following topics:

• Basic introduction to research data and research data management, focussed on humanities and social sciences
• Funder requirements
• Data management plans
• Organisation, documentation and storage of data
• Basic information about publication of research data
• The basics of dealing with sensitive data
• The FAIR data guidelines
