Workshop Research Data and Software Competencies
Our joint workshop is organized from the two NFDI consortia NFDIxCS and NFDI4DS and the two data competency centers QUADRIGA und DKZ.2R.
It is funded by the Volkswagen Stiftung as part of the Themenwoche Digitale Kompetenzen in der Wissenschaft (Digital Competences in Science).
Scientific work today is dependent on digital services and tools in many respects. With the themed week ‘Digital Competences in Science’ (December 2024), the Volkswagen Foundation would like to contribute to making ideas and initiatives on digital competences in science more visible and to promote interdisciplinary and supra-regional exchange. The themed week is primarily aimed at applicants from core facilities, science management, libraries, technical services and administration.
We will work on the following questions:
- What are the essential research data and software competencies that are often overlooked (e.g., in existing (data and software literacy) frameworks, programs, and curricula)?
- How can we effectively teach research data and software competencies to researchers, considering their specific needs and constraints?
- How can we effectively collaborate to develop and possibly share educational resources and training programs?
