11:00 – 12:00 Visualize your research data Zoom link
Event page 		Do you want to improve the figures of your next article or presentation? Welcome to a seminar on how to visualize different types of research data in various contexts. A picture is worth a thousand words, but how do you best communicate your results visually? Welcome to a workshop where we go through what to consider when visualizing data and research results. We will go through both graphical aspects of data visualization and how to reason about colour choice, layout and choice of charts and graphs. During the workshop we will focus on visualization of different types of quantitative data and how to use data visualization both as an analysis tool and as a communication tool in different contexts. Mattias Vesterlund (KTH) has a background as a researcher in Life Sciences working with proteins and Omics-data. He is currently working as a Research Data Advisor and Educator at KTH in Stockholm, Sweden.
13:00 – 13:30 BRIGHT Data Catalog - Developing A Research Data Management Infrastructure Zoom link
Event page 		I will share my experiences and opinions to solutions that we at BRIGHT trying to turn scattered research data into a coherent and well-governed asset. I will share our strategies for integrations of lab data, computational analyses, lab data and DMP. This presentation aims to stimulate discussions for architectural choices, lessons learned, and common pitfalls when building an end-to-end research data management infrastructure. Ding He is trained as researcher with a diverse background in biological science and bioinformatics. He is currently working as Research Data Steward at BRIGHT, DTU Denmark.
13:30 – 14:00 Introduction to Data Publishing and Zenodo Zoom link (Password: 391961) This introductory seminar provides an overview of Data Publishing and data repositories, using Zenodo as an example. Participants will learn why publishing data is useful and how to do it using Zenodo. Jeremy Azzopardi is a Digital Research Engineer at Chalmers e-Commons with over a decade of experience in research data management.
14:00 – 14:30 Where's the data to your article? Learn how to prepare a Data Availability Statement Zoom link
Event page 		Learn how to submit supporting data or code with your manuscript and how to prepare a data availability statement. Jitka will explain the workflow for integrating a data publication in the peer-review process of scientific articles. The data repository of DTU, [DTU Data](https://data.dtu.dk), is part of the [Figshare](https://figshare.com/) platform and will be used as an example. Jitka Stilund Hansen works with research data management at DTU Library and is part of a small team managing the institutional data repository. She has a background in biology and health science.

10:00 – 10:50 Searching for research data Zoom link(Passcode: 030713) The aim of FAIR data is to have, where possible, research data open and accessible to review and reuse. The present reality complicates data’s findability in a myriad of ways not least of which is the decentralised nature of research data repositories and indexes that characterise the data publishing landscape. In this presentation, I will discuss how a network of library research support staff in Denmark, have developed a workshop designed to enhance the competencies of researchers to search for published data. Sacha Zurcher works as a research data specialist at the Royal Danish Library based at Roskilde University. She supports researchers, runs courses for Ph.D. students, and advises university management on issues related to research data. She has a background in human geography.
11:00 – 12:00 FAIR by Default: Building Reproducible Digital Research Projects Zoom link (Password: 603040)
Event page 		How can individual researchers put FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) into practice without being tech experts? This talk shows a practical workflow that makes FAIR the default: a guided template standardizes structure, locks environments, and versions code/data, while a live machine-actionable DMP (maDMP) updates as datasets evolve. A companion editor adds policy guardrails and one-click publishing to approved services (e.g., Dataverse/Zenodo), providing a straightforward path to integrate institutional and national infrastructure into everyday work. Kristoffer Gulmark Poulsen is a data scientist and HPC administrator at Copenhagen Business School, working on supercomputing, research data management, and financial databases.

This webinar will inspire you to get started with OpenRefine. DTU researchers can book Jeannette for a workshop on Thursday 12 on a first-come-first-serve basis. This introduction is open to everyone. Jeannette Ekstrøm
works with research support and teaching both student and researchers with methods for literature searching, literature review, using Generative AI as supplement for their workflow and also Reference Management and more. She has taken a Library Carpentry certification in OpenRefine
12:30 – 13:00 Licensing research data for reuse Zoom link
Event page 		Datasets archived in public repositories need proper licensing.

The team offers various data management support services for the UiB academic staff, including curating datasets deposited to UiBs DataverseNO institutional repository.
13:00 – 14:30 Responsible Preservation of Research Data & Data Available on Unreasonable Request Zoom link Responsible Preservation of Research Data (Mari Elisa Kuusiniemi, University of Helsinki)
Join us to explore the ‘Checklist for the Responsible Preservation of Research Data’—a practical guide for researchers and research support professionals. The event uses a checklist originating from the University of Helsinki’s data preservation guidance (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10424017), yet the presentation and checklist are fully applicable beyond any single organisation.

Data Available on Unreasonable Request (Enrico Glerean, Aalto University)
Do you love open data? Do you conduct data appraisal? Data availability statements are basically mandatory in every field, but there are sometimes hurdles so that you can always make your data "available on reasonable request". In this short provocative talk Enrico will argue that maybe we can just be honest and tell that not all data is worth opening, and more resources and efforst should be invested on high quality datasets that truly have potential for reuse and new discoveries. Slides here: https://zenodo.org/records/18609058

Mari Elisa Kuusniemi works as an Information Specialist on Data support at the Helsinki University Library.

Enrico Glerean is a staff scientist at the Aalto School of Science, core member of the Aalto Scientific Computing team. He helps researchers with their research software and teaches the mandatory course on Research Ethics and hands-on courses like "CodeRefinery" and "Hands-on Data Protection".
