Managing research data involves a complex web of decisions. How do you ensure nothing falls through the cracks and that your data remains FAIR? The answer is a Data Management Plan (DMP).

This hands-on workshop emphasises data management planning at all project phases to keep your data secure and organised. Participants will gain direct access to the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) tool to begin drafting a customised DMP tailored to life science research projects.

Lunch is not included in this event. At Linköping University and the surrounding campus you will find several options for lunch.

Are you confident in how your research project documents and processes personal data? This seminar guides you through the legal landscape, from the GDPR to specific Swedish national laws. Using a practical research scenario, we will clarify essential roles and terms, including:

• Research principal (forskningshuvudman): Understanding the role and responsibilities of the organisation hosting the research.
• Data controllers vs. processors: Identifying who is responsible for each stage of data processing.
• Sensitive data: Best practices for securely sharing biomedical research data in FEGA Sweden while remaining compliant.

Explore the Interactive Marketplace — a lively and informal space designed to connect researchers with local and national research data management support services.

The marketplace will feature a variety of stands where you can discover available tools, services, and support related to research data management. Rather than following a fixed programme, participants are invited to walk around freely, visit the stands that interest them most, and engage in conversations with experts and support staff.

The focus is on dialogue and interaction. Expect visually engaging posters, flyers, and discussion starters rather than traditional scientific posters filled with text. An interactive Data Management Ferris Wheel will also help spark conversations around key research data management topics.

The marketplace also offers a valuable opportunity for local and national support providers to connect with each other and showcase how their services complement one another, helping researchers better navigate the research data management landscape.

Interested in contributing to the Marketplace and showcasing your data management support services? Please contact josefine.sandstrom@liu.se.

Research depends on software, but without open and FAIR practices, software can be difficult to understand, reproduce, and reuse. Open-source software means code that is not only available, but also licensed for free use, modification, and sharing. This workshop provides an overview of open science and FAIR software practices, and introduces a practical checklist for open and FAIR research software. Participants will apply these principles in a hands-on tutorial to improve the openness, transparency, and reusability of their research code.
