Welcome to the course!

Instructors: (TBA)

This course is an introduction to Open Science and Research Data Management. The course is entirely online.

The course has been developed as part of the Skills4EOSC-project.

Course description

The course consists of six modules, each of which explores different areas of Open Science and Research Data Management. The course pages contain both texts and short videos. There are also additional materials ("Read more"), which are optional but recommended.

Course completion and assessment

Each module contains assignments that must be completed according to the instructions. The assignments are for independent work.

The assessment criteria for the assignments are: to identify the key issues, the accuracy and thoroughness of the answers and - if possible, depending on the assignment - the contribution of your own reflections. Individual assignments will be graded (1-5).

The concluding assignment is a learning diary. See Learning Diary for detailed instructions!

General advice regarding the assignments:

- You may need to find additional information beyond the course materials for the assignments.
- Related to the previous point: List any sources you use (other than the course materials) at the end of your answer.
- In most cases, the exercises do not specify a required word count. More important than the length of your answer is that the main points are clearly identified and well presented.

Completion of the course requires the completion of assignments and a learning diary in an acceptable manner.

Course assignments may be completed and returned at your own pace. However, do not leave everything to the last minute!

The course is open until (TBA).

If you have any questions about the course and the assignments, please post them in the common discussion area of the course (Discussion Forum). Others may have the same problems - and perhaps already have a solution. If you have a more personal question, please email the teachers.
