Description
Join us for an intensive four-day summer school designed specifically for Computer Science PhD students looking to enhance their research data and software management skills. This hands-on event will equip you with practical knowledge on how to effectively structure and publish your research artifacts alongside your PhD submission. Apply now!
Each day follows a thematic approach:
Day 1: Open Science – Explore the principles and practices of open science in computer science research.
Day 2: Reproducible Research and Excursion – Delve into the importance of reproducibility in research through discussions and practical examples, followed by a group excursion.
Day 3: Research Data and Software Management – Learn strategies and best practices for organizing, documenting, preserving, and sharing both research data and software.
Day 4: Reflection and Outlook – Consolidate your learning and develop a plan for integrating these practices into your own research.
Daily activities include morning keynotes from experts in the field, interactive workshops on practical skills, and evening networking and social activities to explore beautiful Freiberg.
Important: Participants should bring their own research data and any software relevant to their PhD thesis to work with during the summer school.
