SUMMARY:From Messy Data to Clean Datasets: A Practical Introduction to OpenRefine
DESCRIPTION:Messy and inconsistent data is a common challenge in research\, often making it difficult to analyse\, share\, and reuse data effectively. Improving data quality is therefore a key step towards more reproducible research and better alignment with Open Science and FAIR principles. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will introduce OpenRefine\, an open-source tool designed to help researchers explore\, clean\, and transform messy tabular data. OpenRefine is particularly useful for working with spreadsheets and datasets containing inconsistencies such as duplicate entries\, varying formats\, or typographical errors. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a short introduction to the types of data challenges OpenRefine can address\, followed by a live demonstration showing how to work with real data. The demo will highlight key features and how these can be used to efficiently identify and resolve inconsistencies in datasets. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how these approaches can be applied in your own research context. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience with OpenRefine is required.  \n\n\n\nElisavet Torstensson\, SciLifeLab\, Data Steward NBIS- FEGA Sweden Helpdesk Team- Elixir Sweden \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Research Data Management in Life Science - Gothenburg
DESCRIPTION:Location: Birgit Thilander\, Academicum\, Medicinaregatan 3\, Gothenburg. On-site event co-arranged by SciLifeLab Gothenburg\, Data Centre and NBIS. \n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nRegistration deadline: Tuesday\, October 27\, 2026 \n\n\n\nDiscover how to effectively manage\, share\, and safeguard your research data through practical guidance from both local and national experts. Engage in discussions on best practices grounded in the FAIR principles and Open Science. \n\n\n\nSciLifeLab Data Centre\, National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) and SciLifeLab Gothenburg welcome all life-science researchers and infrastructure experts in the Gothenburg area to join this event where we explore support for research data handling\, GDPR and data management practices according to Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles and Open Science. \n\n\n\nThis event is informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\n10.00-10.15: Welcome coffee/tea \n\n\n\n10.15-10.30: Introduction \n\n\n\n10:30-12:00: Writing a strong Data Management Plan (DMP) – Improving the lifecycle of your research data in an AI-aware research landscape\nManaging research data involves a complex web of decisions. How do you ensure that nothing falls through the cracks\, that your data remains secure and organised\, and that your project supports FAIR data principles from start to finish? A strong Data Management Plan (DMP) helps researchers think through these questions before problems arise. \n\n\n\nThis hands-on workshop emphasises data management planning across all phases of a research project\, from data collection and documentation to storage\, sharing\, preservation\, and reuse. Participants will gain direct access to the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) tool and begin drafting a customised DMP tailored to life science research projects. \n\n\n\nNew for this year\, the workshop will also briefly address the growing role of AI tools in DMP writing. Many researchers can now ask an AI system to generate a DMP in seconds\, but a well-written text is not the same as a well-considered plan. We will discuss how AI can support drafting\, reflection\, and quality control\, while also highlighting the risks of generic\, incomplete\, or misleading answers. The focus will remain on helping researchers understand the decisions behind their DMPs and use available tools responsibly. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n12.00-13.00: Lunch \n\n\n\n13.00-14.30: Handling personal data in Life Science – Navigating GDPR\, Swedish legislation\, and responsible AI use in research\nAre you confident in how your research project documents\, processes\, and protects personal data? Life science research often involves complex data flows\, multiple actors\, and sensitive information\, making it essential to understand both the legal requirements and the practical responsibilities involved. \n\n\n\nThis seminar guides participants through the legal landscape\, from the GDPR to relevant Swedish national legislation. Using a practical research scenario\, we will clarify essential roles and concepts\, including: \n\n\n\n\nResearch principal (forskningshuvudman): Understanding the role and responsibilities of the organisation hosting the research.\n\n\n\nData controllers vs. processors: Identifying who is responsible for each stage of data processing\, including storage\, analysis\, sharing\, and long-term management.\n\n\n\nSensitive data: Understanding how biomedical research data should be handled\, protected\, and shared securely\, including practical considerations for services such as FEGA Sweden.\n\n\n\n\nNew for this year\, the seminar will also briefly address how GDPR affects the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT in research. Generative AI can support tasks such as drafting\, summarising\, coding\, documentation\, and project planning\, but it can also introduce risks when personal data\, sensitive data\, unpublished research material\, or confidential project information are entered into external tools. \n\n\n\nWe will discuss why AI use is not only a technical question\, but also a legal and organisational one: Who is responsible for the processing? What data can be shared with an AI tool? What should never be entered? How do researchers balance the benefits of AI with confidentiality\, accountability\, and compliance? \n\n\n\nThe aim is to help researchers make informed decisions when handling personal data in life science research\, including in an increasingly AI-supported research environment. \n\n\n\n\n14.30-15.30: Marketplace: an interactive exhibition – including fika\nVisit the Interactive Marketplace to explore local and national research data management services in an engaging and informal setting. Meet experts\, discover practical support and tools\, join interactive discussions\, and learn how different services can support your research — all through inspiring stands\, conversation-focused posters\, and hands-on activities like the Data Management Ferris Wheel.Interested in contributing to the Marketplace and showcasing your data management support services?
