RDNL Essentials 4 Data Support (English)

Coming soon! For data support staff who support researchers in storing, managing, archiving and sharing thier research data.

Research Data Management

The Essentials 4 Data Support course aims to contribute to
professionalization of data supporters and coordination between them.
Data supporters are people who support researchers in storing, managing,
archiving and sharing thier research data.

Learning objectives

The name for the course – Essentials 4 Data Support – refers to the
main goal of the course: teaching the basic knowledge and skills (essentials)
to enable a data supporter to take the first steps towards supporting
researchers in storing, managing, archiving and sharing their research
data.

After the course, data supporters will have gained an insight into
the phases in the lifecycle of scientific research data. Points of
reference are given for each phase in order to advise researchers about
adding value to their research data. View this table to see which competences will be paid attention to in this course.

With this course we mainly aim to offer a community and starting point for data supporters to
meet and where they can benefit from each other’s newly gained
knowledge and skills. We think that supporting researchers in being
responsible for their research data is a team effort. IT staff, library
staff, data librarians and data specialists all play their parts. If
data supporters know where to find each other, everyone benefits – the
researcher in particular. 

Research disciplines vary greatly and each requires a specific approach that is not offered in this course.

The course Essentials 4 Data Support was designed with the following competencies in mind:
