Tired of Recreating someone else’s work? - How Open Science can accelerate research and overcome reinvention

Have you ever found papers on algorithms but their implementation is missing? Found an interesting analysis but there is no way to check the results, as you don’t have access to the data they were derived from? Ever thought you had a great idea for a project, just to find out a year later that you are not the only research group following that specific idea? Not having access to other people’s code, data, metrics or even their plans for research projects often leads to unnecessary delays and scientific redundancies. There is an easy solution to overcome (almost) all of these issues. It’s called Open Science! What is Open Science? The UNESCO defines Open Science as a construct of “movements and practices aiming to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors […]”.

DataLad Workshop and Hackathon

This event takes place in English

Organizing decentrally stored data requires more than just a good overview and discipline. The right tool plays a crucial role in successful data management and productive collaboration in research teams. One such tool is DataLad, whose powerful features make it much easier to manage, version and distribute large amounts of data and promote the reproducibility of research processes. To help researchers use DataLad efficiently and deepen their knowledge, the data competence centers DKZ.2R, WiNoDa and the NFDI consortia NFDI4ING and NFDI4Objects are organizing a three-day workshop. From June 30 to July 2, there will be many opportunities to try out practice-oriented content and intensive collaboration with DataLad at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University.
