Research Data Management for the Humanities and Social Sciences

Research data play a central role in every research project, including in the humanities and social sciences. Whether working in archives, conducting field research, or using databases – there are numerous challenges when dealing with data and materials. The term research data management has been used now for a number of years to discuss and negotiate a great variety of topics. For example, very practical aspects such as useful file organisation and secure storage, but also complex ethical issues that come into play when working with data. And last but not least, against the background of increased transparency of research processes as well as more efficient handling of publicly financed research through data re-use, the archiving of research data is increasingly expected by funders and other institutions.

This workshop is organized by the Digital Lab at the Research Centre Global Dynamics (ReCentGlobe) of Leipzig University and will be held by Eva Ommert. It is open to all those who are interested; a share of the places is reserved for members of the centre. Please register here until 2 April 2025.
