Presentation
The development of research activity entails adherence to a series of rules that seek to ensure the fair exploitation of publicly funded results, so that they can reach peers and the public and/or be reused for the benefit of science and society at large and as quickly as possible. In an era of escalating capacity for big data generation, we cannot afford to waste the incredibly high amount of potentially relevant information that lost, mislocated or unshared data may hide.
This 2-day workshop provides researchers with useful tools to respond to the new paradigm in handling and sharing research results, from open access and publications to research data management.
Dates and Time: 4 February 2025 (from 09:30 to 13:30 h) & 6 February 2025 (from 09:30 to 11:30 h)
Place: Dolors Aleu Room, PCB
Target audience: PhD researchers
The workshop is free of charge and has limited places. Priority will be given to early-stage PhD researchers.
