BioData.pt | ELIXIR Portugal, in collaboration with several other organizations, namely ELIXIR NL and ELIXIR SE has designed a program to train the first generation of Data Stewards for the life sciences, to support the implementation of data management, open science and FAIR data principles in Portuguese R&I organizations. It will unfold from February to November 2022, allowing trainees to get some practice and consolidate the acquired knowledge. It will comprise an introductory module covering the basic concepts of Data Stewardship followed by three assignments and end with a hands-on course for knowledge consolidation.
This final course, of intermediate level, will take place on November 15th-17th, at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência. Besides the participants in the full programme, we reserved a few seats for external participants.
If you already know the basics about data management and data stewardship and want to advance to the intermediate level, pre-register by sending an e-mail to communityeventsmanager@biodata.pt.
