Research Data Management in the Berlin University Alliance – Best Practices for a Diverse Academic Landscape
The Research Data Day @ BUA cordially invites researchers from the Berlin University Alliance to come together for the first time to discuss, exchange ideas, and network regarding the handling of research data. The goal is to highlight best practices, share experiences, and expand the dialogue on research data management across the four BUA institutions.
All interested parties—doctoral students, researchers, faculty members, and other members of the Berlin University Alliance—are warmly welcome. Come learn more, network, and join the discussion!
Would you like to find out more about the background to Research Data Day? If so, feel free to read the interview with Sibylle Söring on the campus.leben website (in German).
