EconData Workshop
Curious how others handle ethical or governance challenges around data access and privacy? Do you have data that drives you crazy and need somebody to talk about it? Wondering if you have the best method to get the most out of your data?

If you have questions likes these, we invite you to join us for an engaging unconference-style workshop fostering collaboration and innovation across business, economics, and related research fields. Share insights, connect with peers, and create tangible outcomes on topics like reproducible research, unstructured data, and AI.

How to Get the Best of AI Tools in Research
This online course is dedicated to the use of AI-powered tools in research. It offers an overview of existing AI tools and how they can be integrated at different stages of research: project planning and organization, literature review, data analysis, and the reporting and communication of results. We will discuss the opportunities these tools provide but also their limitations and how to critically evaluate them. Finally, we will address ethical considerations and the current standards for transparently disclosing one’s own use of AI.
Gute wissenschaftliche Praxis
Der Kurs vermittelt den Teilnehmenden forschungsethisches Fachwissen, gibt ihnen Raum zur Reflexion ihrer Werte und Haltungen als Forschende und lässt sie Fertigkeiten im Umgang mit konfliktbehafteten Situationen in ihrer Forschungspraxis einüben.

Academic SEO – Bessere Sichtbarkeit für wissenschaftliche Publikationen
Die Auffindbarkeit wissenschaftlicher Publikationen ist essenziell für die Sichtbarkeit und Zitierbarkeit von Artikeln, Büchern und weiteren wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungsformaten. Dieser Kurs vermittelt Strategien, mit denen Forschende durch Academic Search Engine Optimization (Academic SEO) die Sichtbarkeit ihrer Forschung signifikant steigern können. Es werden konkrete Optimierungsmöglichkeiten für Titel, Abstracts und Schlagwörter vorgestellt, die sowohl auf Suchmaschinen als auch auf Leserinnen und Leser ausgerichtet sind. Im Workshop sollen die Teilnehmer:innen anhand eigener Beispiele die Optimierung üben und mit Hilfe von bereitgestellten KI-Prompts die Optimierung mit generativer KI austesten

Wie sollte eine faire Finanzierung von Open Access aussehen?
Für den Forschungsraum Berlin-Brandenburg ist das faire und nachhaltige Finanzieren von Open Access ein drängendes Thema (Neufend et al. 2024), das aufgrund der Unsicherheiten in der Finanzierung von Wissenschafts- und Kulturerbe-Einrichtungen alle Einrichtungstypen unterschiedlich betrifft. In dieser Veranstaltung möchten wir mit Akteur*innen ins Gespräch kommen, die bereits eine nachhaltige, faire und kollektive Finanzierung von Open Access unterstützen und ermöglichen.
Let’s go open – das ZOERR und offene Lehr-/Lernmaterialien

FAIR and GDPR Compliant
This session will cover the topic of the recently published NFDI Section ELSA factsheets “FAIR-Principles and Data Protection. How can FAIR data management be reconciled with the General Data Protection Regulation?“ The aim is to support researchers and illustrate the interplay between the FAIR framework and the privacy requirements in RDM, by showing that the two in fact supplement each other. Thus, researchers can learn how to comply with both frameworks, identify legal issues in their research projects and use various tools and resources for self-education.
AI, OER and law — solving practical cases together
Would you like to use artificial intelligence (AI) in education and be on the safe side legally? Are you working with Open Educational Resources (OER) and wondering how you can use AI tools in a legally compliant way and create innovative teaching materials?
Then we cordially invite you to our workshop "AI, OER and law - solving practical cases together". After a theoretical part on copyright issues relating to the creation of (OER) teaching materials with AI, we will solve practical cases in groups and thus learn how to use AI programs in a legally compliant manner.
