This 4 session training course “Training on FAIR Principles in Data Management” is tailored for Kyiv School of Economics, the Ukrainian partner in the BRIDGE twinning project that is being implemented together with University of Tartu. Covering basic data management best practices and trickiest aspects of handling data with a focus on social sciences.
ELIXIR-Estonia will provide a bioinformatics course that will cover an overview of basic R, statistics, graphical visualization, data management and sharing.
Andmehaldus projektijuhtidele on ülevaatlik töötuba, mis on suunatud projektijuhtidele. Kursus annab sissejuhatuse andmehalduse peamistesse teemadesse, keskendudes eelkõige isikuandmete käsitlemisele ja sellega seotud nõuetele.
Töötoas tutvustatakse, millised teemad kuuluvad andmehalduse valdkonda ning millist väärtust hea andmehaldus projektile loob. Eraldi käsitletakse andmehaldusplaani, selle sisu, eesmärki ja praktilist kasu projektijuhi vaatenurgast. Fookus on sellel, et projektijuht mõistaks andmehaldusplaani rolli ja kasu projektile.
Join our workshop for practical guidance on Data Management Plans (DMPs). We’ll discuss relevant resources, the data life cycle, READMEs, GDPR considerations, and FAIR data sharing.
The session incorporates 3-4 dedicated 30-minute writing blocks for you to actively draft your DMP. Our data steward will be present throughout to offer support and answer your questions.
On 12 February from 10:00 to 16:00, the Grant Office invites researchers and project managers to the research funding information day “Funding Nudge 2026”, which will take place at the university library.
In the second half of 2025, ELIXIR Estonia continued to deepen its collaborations in research data management, both within Estonia and across Europe, while also expanding staff involvement in training activities and knowledge-sharing initiatives. Throughout the period, we placed a stronger focus on data management by participating in and organising events in partnership. A standout moment was co-organising a Nordic Computational Biology Week Conference, an experience that will help us take on larger events in the future. Alongside these activities, our team contributed three new publications, reflecting our ongoing commitment to advancing research and supporting the broader scientific community.
Data management is an essential part of scientific research and is crucial for maximizing the value of data. Crash course in Data Management is an introductory course that equips researchers with the necessary skills for effective organization and management of research data. Participants will gain knowledge of best practices in data documentation, backup, and sharing. We will go through exercises and assignments to reinforce new knowledge.
The first half of 2025 has shown how ELIXIR Estonia combines international collaboration, national community-building, and innovative training to support researchers. With initiatives in citizen science, data management network, and skill development, the team is contributing to the foundation for a strong, sustainable research data ecosystem in Estonia.
ELIXIR Estonia is proud to showcase the Research Data Management Kit (RDMkit), a community-led knowledge resource for life sciences that helps researchers and data stewards navigate the complexities of managing research data. Developed through the ELIXIR CONVERGE project and supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, the RDMkit provides guidance on Research Data management that aligns with FAIR principles, ensuring data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
What happens when you forget to back up your research data? Or when a tiny mistake in Excel changes your results completely? This autumn, ELIXIR Estonia is taking a playful, but serious look at what can go wrong in data management.
