ABOUT THE DATA SNACKS
Ensuring the responsible handling of research data in accordance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) is a crucial aspect of the research process. In fact, the adoption of a sustainable data management strategy has become essential for the success of third-party funding proposals (e.g. requirements of the DFG).
With the Data Snacks, we invite you to a culinary data break served in four short sessions to share our love for research data. The menu revolves around different challenges in data management. Embark on a delightful journey with us, exploring FAIR data in digital humanities, uncovering the secrets of the Nagoya Protocol, indulging in data licences, and venturing into the realm of data publishing.
Please check the Website of the Data Science Center of the University of Bremen for more information.
WHAT’S THIS SESSION ABOUT?
This Data Snack session is part of the Research Data Day 2025, happening on campus in the Glashalle – actual snacks will be served.
Research data can be a bit like leftovers – easy to lose track of what's what and sometimes hard to identify. Without a clear system, finding the right file can feel like digging through a fridge full of mystery containers.
Often, talks about research data management are full of overwhelming buzz words and acronyms like FAIR data, RDM, DMPs, etc. This talk is here to help you avoid the data chaos. We'll walk you through simple, practical strategies for organizing your (research) data, covering folder structures, file naming conventions, storage and backup, version control, and documentation.
No matter your discipline, good research data organization saves time, reduces frustration, and makes collaboration smoother. For researchers, it ensures that data remains accessible and reusable, and for students, it builds habits that make academic (and later professional) life much easier. Join us for some snackable tips that will keep your data fresh, your workflow smooth, and your future self very, very grateful.
