The course provides an introduction to the basics of research data management (RDM) and FAIR data for doctoral students in humanities, social sciences and theology and offers them the opportunity to apply the basics to their own research data.

Participants will be able to familiarize themselves with the basic concepts, methods and tools of RDM. E.g. planning data management and data protection, organizing, documentation and storing data, finding suitable data repositories, publishing, preserving and reusing data. Furthermore, participants will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained to their own research data, deepen it in exercises and discuss RDM challenges in their projects with experts.

Finally, participants will learn requirements on RDM by research funders, e.g. the SNSF, and get to know important service providers for RDM in humanities, social sciences and theology at the University of Basel and in Switzerland. E.g. the RDM Network, RISE, the Data Protection Officer, DaSCH, FORS, etc.
