As part of our “Trainings” work package, the DKZ.2R creates, curates and presents a variety of free trainings, seminars and courses. Our next offering will be a half-day workshop on creating and presenting interactive visualizations in python, to be presented at RWTH Aachen University on 4th June, 2025. The workshop will cover data wrangling, creating interactive visualizations using Ploty, and deploying a small web application using Streamlit.

Workshop material is available online and will be presented by instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions throughout the event. The event is open for participants from all domains, however a basic knowledge of Python is reccomended. If you are interested in taking part in the workshop, you can sign up here.

There are a lot of reasons why collaborating with other researchers on scientific projects is great! It provides new perspectives and gives you the chance to benefit from other people’s knowledge and input. When it comes to sharing and exchanging data across multiple locations and devices however, researchers are often disoriented and don’t know which tools, cloud services and so on are safe to share data in a secure and ethical way.

FDM-Werkstatt - Into the RDM-Toolbox!

FDM-Werkstatt - Into the RDM-Toolbox!

The Center of Data Litercacy (German: “Zentrum für Datenkompetenz”) DKZ.2R was officially launched mid November 2023. Already a month later we joined forces with fdm.nrw to organise the very first DKZ.2R-event (find the call for participation here). The “FDM-Werkstatt – Into the RDM-Toolbox” took place from March 18 to 20, 2024 at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. In total, 50 participants from all over Germany took part in the workshops. Many of them brought their own topics of interest with them and presented it in one of the 12 sessions. The contents of the sessions ranged from low-level introductions and RDM-basics to elaborate and in-detail coding sessions. For three days we worked together, discussed use cases and new RDM tools. But we also enjoyed the social program such as a tour of the AiX Cave and the server room of the ITC’s High Performance Computing Center. There was a good balance between cognitively demanding workshop sessions and more relaxing social events and lunch breaks which hopefully resulted in an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all participants. On the very last day of the workshop we offered a session to especially discuss ideas and directions for the DKZ.2R. The feedback we got in this session will help us in moving forward with the DKZ.2R and making a lasting impact for future researchers.
