GFBio - de.NBI 2018 summer school 2018 participants

The German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio) and the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) are for the first time promoting a joint summer school to support researchers in managing their scientific data. 18 young scientists met at the Braunschweig Centre for Systems Biology. "Riding the Data Life Cycle" is the title of the summer school and refers to the OECD recommendation that data from publicly funded research must be publicly available.

The aim is to provide a practical toolbox for the collection, maintenance, documentation, archiving and publication of research data according to the FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable). Practical training is also integrated to evaluate data for reuse.

Lecturers are Janine Felden and Uwe Schindler from the data portal PANGAEA located at MARUM and Alfred-Wegener-Institute.
