ETH Research Data Management Summer School 2025 | June 2-6

The summer school provides a comprehensive overview of research data management (RDM), its principles and practical implications, as well as useful tools for early career scientists. RDM is vital for researchers to ensure the proper organisation of research data along the entire lifecycle from creation to preservation including their sharing as FAIR data.

Sessions

• Broad introduction to research data management, the FAIR Data principles and aspects of open science
• Daily data management during the course of a research project
• Reproducible data management and analysis
• Handling confidential and strictly confidential research data
• Open access to publications
• Sharing and publishing research data
• Long-term preservation of research data

Sessions include presentations from ETH experts as well as short inputs from ETH professors and will be complemented by practical workshops, where you can immediately apply the knowledge gained during the sessions. A marketplace at the end of the Summer School offers the possibility of 1:1 consulting to discuss open questions and problems concerning various topics related to research data management.

Who can participate?

Primarily aimed at members of ETH Zurich, but open to doctoral candidates and postdocs from across the ETH Domain.

Credits

Doctoral candidates can obtain 2 ECTS points.

Note: Recognition of ECTS credits is the responsibility of each doctoral program. EPFL doctoral candidates must therefore first check with their doctoral program whether or not credits are recognized.
