Event Calendar

OpenAIRE is running a series of community calls for ARGOS to support all researchers in meeting their Horizon Europe requirements by creating FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) DMPs. Similarly, it supports all research performing and funding organisations to orchestrate their data services around ARGOS and connect data workflows contributing to interconnected Research Data Management ecosystems. These calls offer the opportunity to discover ARGOS novelties and learn how to benefit from them in your practice, share feedback and discuss the future of DMPs as FAIR and machine actionable outputs, i.e. as complete outputs that bring validated information, qualified references and automations to the table to assist the processes of collecting, documenting and publishing your data.

Zotero ist ein freies, quelloffenes Literaturverwaltungsprogramm zum Sammeln, Verwalten und Zitieren unterschiedlicher Literaturquellen und unterstützt bei der Erstellung von Literaturverzeichnissen sowie beim Zitieren in wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten. Der Basiskurs unterstützt Sie bei Ihren ersten Schritten mit dem Programm; Sie erfahren: wie Sie Zotero installieren, wie Zotero aufgebaut ist, wie Sie schnell und einfach wissenschaftliche Quellen erfassen, wie Sie den passenden Zitierstil finden und wie Sie Literaturnachweise und Literaturverzeichnisse in Microsoft Word einfügen.

Solange Materialien nur im eigenen Kurs genutzt werden, bleiben viele Fragen oft im Hintergrund. Sobald Folien, Arbeitsblätter, Videos oder Aufgaben aber mit Kolleg:innen geteilt, in Repositorien eingestellt oder für andere zugänglich gemacht werden sollen, wird genaueres Hinsehen nötig. Das gilt erst recht, wenn auch KI-generierte Bestandteile enthalten sind. Der Impulstalk zeigt, welche rechtlichen Fragen in solchen Übergangsmomenten besonders häufig auftauchen – und wie sich Lehrmaterialien so vorbereiten lassen, dass spätere Nutzung und Weitergabe auf einer klareren Grundlage erfolgen.

Endlich wurden Ihnen die langersehnten Fördermittel zugesagt und Sie können Ihre Forschungsdaten, die Sie schon vor zwei Jahren erhoben haben, für das neue Forschungsprojekt nachnutzen und das Projekt weiterführen. Aber Sie wissen nicht mehr, wofür die genutzten Abkürzungen stehen? Welche Bedeutung haben die Zahlenkombinationen, die die Spalten in der Datentabelle beschreiben? Welche Parameter/Einstellungen hatten Sie für die Messungen genutzt? Durch die strukturierte und (vorab) geplante Nutzung von Metadaten und durch die sinnvoll angelegte Dokumentation können Sie die beschriebene Situation (weitestgehend) vermeiden. Sie bekommen Details und anwendbare Tipps zu Metadaten und Dokumentation und lernen: was Metadaten eigentlich sind und wo Sie nach für Ihren Fachbereich sinnvollen Metadatenschemata suchen können - welche Dokumentationsarten es gibt - warum es sich auf lange Sicht lohnt, Zeit für eine strukturierte Dokumentation zu investieren.

Haben Sie bereits mit Zotero gearbeitet oder am Basiskurs teilgenommen? In diesem Kurs lernen Sie weitere Funktionen von Zotero kennen: Die gesammelten Volltexte auswerten, Textpassagen und Abbildungen extrahieren - Eigene Notizen und Ideen (=Wissenselemente) erfassen - Wissenselemente strukturieren, wiederfinden und während des Schreibens in Word einbinden - Hilfreiche PlugIns & „Smart Groups“.

Day 1: Introduction to research data management: securely storing, organizing and retrieving research data: The first part offers an introduction to research data management (RDM), presents the aims of RDM, the FAIR principles, as well as important terms and methods. Practical information is provided on how researchers can quickly take their first steps in RDM, when RDM practices are useful in daily research practice and how checklists can provide support. You will learn how to store and share research data securely and how to name, structure and organize it in a  comprehensible way and have the opportunity to discuss this with respect to your own data. 

The way we work with research data is changing rapidly—and so is the day-to-day work of researchers. For researchers, this means that data must be organized not only according to FAIR principles but also in a way that is robust, sustainable, and legally compliant. Many changes start small—within one’s own projects, tools, and routines. Data Days therefore warmly invites you to learn more, exchange experiences, and discover ways to make daily research data management noticeably easier, while also gaining exciting insights into the state initiative. On the third day the event continues virtually.

Haben Sie bereits mit Zotero gearbeitet oder am Basiskurs teilgenommen? In diesem Kurs lernen Sie weitere Funktionen von Zotero kennen: einen Zotero-Account anlegen, um die Vorteile der Zotero WebCloud zu nutzen - lokal abgelegte Daten mit der Zotero WebCloud synchronisieren; inkl. Exkurs: "NextCloud der TU Dresden für WebDAV" - Zotero Gruppen anlegen, teilen und befüllen.

Open Research Europe (ORE) is entering a new phase, bringing a trusted, open access publishing platform to a wider audience. Now researchers affiliated with research institutions in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland are eligible to publish on ORE. Would you like to know more? Join us for a practical webinar answering all those "who, what, and why" questions. You will leave understanding: Who is now eligible; Why you should choose ORE; What variety of outputs are accepted; How the submission process works; and What ORE's transparent peer review process looks like.

Research data rarely arrives clean: inconsistent formats, missing values and undocumented columns slow down analysis and make results hard to reproduce or share. In this training researchers get introduced to JupyterLab and Python with an integrated AI assistant and learn to use it as a reproducible workbench for data exploration and RDM tasks. Working with a realistic messy dataset, you will explore it, validate it against explicit rules, generate a quality report, clean it, and publish it as a documented FAIR data package with a draft Data Management Plan. Throughout, you let the AI draft according code and docs while you learn to read, run and critically check what it produces.

Learn about training with the Center for Open Science. This webinar is a crash-course version of our popular, badged self-paced training course Fundamentals of Open Scholarship . It is for researchers, librarians and anyone interested in the fundamentals of open scholarship. In this webinar we will introduce you to open scholarship practices designed to make research processes and outputs more transparent, accessible, and reproducible. Participants will learn what open scholarship is, key practices and policy directions, and what the evidence says about its effects on research quality and credibility.

Day 2: Describing research data in a comprehensible way: metadata, taxonomies and documentation: In order to fulfil the requirements of good scientific practice, not only research data in the narrower sense should be taken into account. Important metadata and the documentation of the research enrich the research data by describing the context in which the data was created in more detail. The second part of the workshop therefore offers an in-depth look at the topic of data documentation and metadata. A playful exercise will be used to teach various documentation options. Procedures will be presented that will enable you to provide your research data with metadata, metadata standards and standardized descriptions, which will then be discussed with regard to your own research.

Gaining visibility and being quoted is crucial for academic careers. The first step in to ensure that you are correctly findable in databases. This workshop provides practical guidance on how to achieve it and covers the following topics: - Different persistent identifiers for correct data mirroring in other databases - Funder note, affiliation and compliance: why they matter- Publishing and quoting research data- Republishing in repositories- Curating profiles in Google Scholar, Web of Science and ORCID.

The interactive workshop will explore the many ways in which artificial intelligence can transform and significantly facilitate the world of Open Educational Resources (OER). This workshop is aimed at university lecturers who want to design their teaching materials in an innovative way. Participants will learn how AI can help to make OER more effective and reduce the workload. Focal points: Legally compliant use of AI tools for OER: Overview of copyright issues, public domain and legal risks when using AI in teaching. Practical application: Hands-on group work with case studies to practice the safe use of AI tools. Efficient material creation with AI: Strategies for generating high-quality teaching materials such as simulations, graphics and case vignettes. Prompt design and creative approaches: Tips and tricks to achieve appropriate results with targeted prompts.

Research software underpins nearly every stage of modern science, from data acquisition to large-scale computation and emerging AI-driven workflows, as highlighted by Research Software Engineering Day, which builds on the momentum of previous editions. As research questions grow in complexity, there is an increasing need for robust software engineering practices, transparent and reusable code, and approaches that scale from high-performance computing to resource-constrained environments. Research Software Engineering Day brings together practitioners to address these needs across seven thematic tracks: Software engineering practices in research - FAIR software in practice - Open-weight language models and lightweight ML approaches (such as tinyML and edgeML) - Computational challenges in the sciences - Research Software in the context of High-Performance Computing Reproducible workflows - Success and Failures of LLM applications - Through talks and focused discussions, participants will explore practical methods, shared challenges, and real-world use cases.
