Welcome + Introduction – by the Open Science Team (University Library)

From chaos to order: Efficient file management – by Johannes Algermissen, Hannah Peetz & Eva Poort
Have you ever tried to retrieve a lost file? Or to make sense of an analysis script you wrote two years ago? Do you sometimes hate your past self? Have you ever handed in the wrong assignment? Join us for an event that will help you solve many of your future-self problems. We’ll share our best tips for naming things, file management and sharing files with others (including your future self). And don’t forget to bring your sniffer dog, as there will be an exercise on “Find the File”.
Johannes is a PhD student at the Donders Institute.
Hannah is a PhD student at the Behavioural Science Institute.
Eva is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics.
CANCELLED Data stewardship at the RU – by the Team of Data Stewards
The discipline-specific Data Stewards will present themselves and the specific support they offer with regard to (local) policies for data storage and management. Political scientist Alex Lehr will briefly share his experiences.
Data horror escape room – hosted by Jeroen Bos
Learn about data management and sharing while escaping Professor Hutseephluts’s office.
Does data management sound scary to you? Wait until you’ve done this escape room! Data managers from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterda (VU) have developed an online game where you can explore the horrors of bad data management, and that teaches you how to improve your own ata management. You will be assigned to teams of 2-4 persons with whom you participate in the escape room together. This is a great way to meet new OS-enthusiasts!
The escape room takes approximately one hour. No research data management knowledge or experience is needed. Come try it out, if you dare!
Jeroen is Open Access Officer at the Radboud University Library.
See you there!
