University of Edinburgh

Online

Instructors: Tomasz Zielinski

Overview

FAIR data sharing for Leaders

The way we disseminate scientific results is changing to include Open Science and FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). Well-organised data (and code) is not just the best preparation for this, it can also increase productivity. With the introduction of Narrative CVs, both your research and your researchers can be recognised for these new research outputs. You as a leader should make the most of these changes, for your group and your grants

In this interactive course, we will teach:

The interactive format of this course (carpentry-style with practical exercises and group discussions) makes it longer than a typical death-by-powerpoint presentation but it is also much more rewarding for the participants!

The course is aimed at group leaders and PIs in bio-medical field who are interested in Open Science, FAIR principles and efficient data management. This training is aimed at those who want to be familiar with these concepts and how to introduce them in their groups.

Setup

To participate in a workshop, you will need access to software as described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.

We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.

Install the videoconferencing client

If you haven't used Zoom before, go to the official website to download and install the Zoom client for your computer.

Set up your workspace

Like other Carpentries workshops, you will be learning by "coding along" with the Instructors. To do this, you will need to have both the window for the tool you will be learning about (a terminal, RStudio, your web browser, etc..) and the window for the Zoom video conference client open. In order to see both at once, we recommend using one of the following set up options:

This blog post includes detailed information on how to set up your screen to follow along during the workshop.
