Summer School: Advanced Skills for Research Data Management and Open Science in Social Sciences
août 26 @ 8:00 – août 30 @ 12:00
Boost your research potential in Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science by joining an intensive course specifically designed for doctoral students and early-careers researchers in Social Sciences. This new cours, is led by experts from the Università della Svizzera italiana, the University of Lausanne, and FORS.
Course contents and objectives
The evolving landscape of research, publishing, and career trajectories presents both new opportunities and fresh challenges for those engaged in the social sciences. Increased emphasis on transparency, collaboration, and data-driven insights is redefining how we conduct, communicate, and measure the impact of scholarly work. As such, developing a robust understanding of Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science (OS) practices has become a critical skillset for early-career researchers. Navigating these shifting demands is key not only for completion of doctoral thesis and publishing success but also for enhancing research productivity and seizing broader career opportunities.
Research Data Management and Open Science Training at the Summer School for Social Sciences Methods
This intensive, comprehensive summer school course on research data management and open research data practices is specifically tailored for doctoral and postdoctoral social sciences researchers. It combines academic theory with hands-on activities, following the research data cycle. We use a dynamic data management plan as the central project, allowing you to apply the learnings to your ongoing research directly.
By bringing your own research data (or research ideas) to the program, you can actively engage in the learning process, ensuring all concepts and techniques have immediate relevance to your specific project and research field.
This immersive experience also addresses ethical considerations, values, and professional attitudes associated with the application of responsible RDM and OS principles and practices, equipping you for a successful career path whether within academia or beyond.
The program’s focus on fostering research efficiency and improving your research workflow translates into tangible benefits. You will gain the necessary tools and strategies to effectively manage your data, expedite the publication process, and enhance collaboration opportunities. Ultimately, by understanding how RDM and OS principles contribute to research transparency, reproducibility, and impact, you can strategically utilise these practices to advance your research career and contribute meaningfully to the wider academic community.
