DataLad Workshop
Add to CalendarThis event takes place in German.
Organizing decentralized 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, which, thanks to its powerful features, greatly facilitates the management, versioning, and distribution of large amounts of data and promotes the reproducibility of research processes. To help researchers use DataLad efficiently and deepen their knowledge, the data competence centers DKZ.2R and WiNoDa, together with 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.
The first day of the workshop will be devoted to the basics and an introduction to the subject matter. Starting with a compact introduction to Git, the basic concepts and functions of DataLad will then be explained. The second day will focus on practical application: in a “hackathon” session, participants will work in teams on their own projects or use cases. At the end of the workshop, the teams will present their results, providing a comprehensive overview of the various areas of application for DataLad and stimulating valuable discussions.
The workshop is aimed specifically at FDM experts who want to expand their data management skills and act as DataLad contact persons (“multipliers”) for their teams and institutions in the future. Basic Git knowledge is helpful but not a prerequisite for participation.

Up to 5 people from each organizing institution can participate in the workshop.
