About
Skills and competencies related to data literacy and data management are indispensable in today’s data-intensive research environment, both in STEM as well as in the humanities and social sciences. In recent years, there has been a significant shift in scientific communication towards open science, and many new approaches, tools and technologies have emerged, enabling a research process that goes beyond the traditional way of research. Open science has the potential to lead researchers to an open, collaborative, transparent, reproducible and, therefore, effective research process.
The University of Maribor Summer School offers PhD students and young researchers an opportunity to learn and develop skills in the fields of research data management, open access to research results, the use of open research infrastructure, supercomputing resources and the European Open Science Cloud. With lectures and workshops led by domestic and international experts, the course will provide a deeper understanding of these topics and insight into valuable practical experience.
The UM Open Science Summer School is entitled to award 3 ECTS points for participation. ECTS points will be awarded to participants compliant with the following requirements:
- Attendance in the virtual pre-event (will be announced by e-mail). Alternatively, participants will be able to access the recorded session.
- Pre-reading of suggested material (reading list will be provided by e-mail).
- Active participation in all lectures.
- On-line assignments.
The lectures will be given in English.
