Data management Plans

A data management plan (DMP) describes how data in a research project will be collected, processed, and made available. Writing a DMP is good scientific practice which helps structuring the data management in a research project and a requirement by research funders, e.g. The Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe. See also our information page UiB Library – Data Management Plans.

• August 19^th 10:00-11:00 CET: Introduction to Data Management Plans (in Norwegian)
• September 30^th, 10:00-14:00 CET: Data Management Plan Workshop Following an introduction to data management plans, you will be able to work on your own DMP and receive feedback.
• November 25^th, 10:00-11:00 CET: Introduction to Data Management Plans

How to make your data open & FAIR Researchers are encouraged to make their data openly available as early as possible in the research process, and most funders, e.g. Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe, and publishers require that the research data from a project is made openly available. In the course you will get an introduction to how you can make your research data open and FAIR, and how to archive your data in our institutional archive UiB Open Research Data. See also our information page UiB Library – Open Access to Research Data.

• September 2^nd, 10:00-11:00 CET: How to make your data open & FAIR
• December 9^th, 10:00-11:00 CET: How to make your data open & FAIR (in Norwegian)

Open Access publishing step-by-step

Governments, institutions, and research funders expect researchers to make their research openly available. What is open access, why should you make your research publications openly available and what services and support is available at UiB?

• September 16^th, 10:00-10:45 CET: Open Access publishing step-by-step

Make your research visible using researcher profiles Having a researcher profile is a great way to showcase contributions to your field and open science engagement. This seminar will demonstrate how to use ORCID and other researcher profiles to showcase your work. See also MittUiB online course UBB103 Profiles and Publishing Statistics and our information page UiB Library – Bibliometric services and analysis.

Open Access Week

Open Access Week is an annual scholarly communication event focusing on open access and related topics. The national Norwegian program is the result of a collaboration between UiB and several other institutions and infrastructures. Stay tuned!

• October 24^th-28^th: Open Access Week 2022

Finding & reusing research data

Reusing published research data can open new avenues of research and avoids unnecessary duplication of efforts. The webinar will give an introduction to FAIR research data as a resource, explain data citation, and demonstrate strategies to efficiently discover datasets in your discipline.

This course will provide a practical guide on how to build on past and current projects funded by the EU, navigate the vast Horizon Europe framework program, and build core concept of research proposals.

Course content: The European framework program Horizon Europe supports is the EU’s main funding programme for research and innovation. Running from 2021 to 2027 with a budget of 95.5 billion euros, it is the most extensive research funding programme globally. It supports a wide range of research and innovation activities, including primary and applied research, innovation projects, and networking activities, and provides funding and opportunities for researchers in all fields and at all career stages.

Generate a data management plan for a Life Science research project that will meet the requirements of the Research Council of Norway

Time and place: Sep. 26, 2022 9:00 AM–Sep. 27, 2022 1:00 PM, online

We are pleased to announce the Data Management planning workshop for Life Scientists in Norway by ELIXIR Norway and Digital Life Norway.

All projects that receive funding from the Norwegian RCN are required to submit a data management plan as soon as possible after the contract with the RCN has been signed. All Norwegian universities now also require a DMP for all projects. This workshop focuses on how-to generate a data management plan for a Life Science research project that will meet the requirements of the RCN.

We would like to invite researchers (PhD candidates, Post Doctoral Fellows, Researchers, Associate Professors and Professors) in existing and upcoming Life Science projects to develop their DMP in this workshop.

Dear Colleagues,

Are you studying proteins or RNAs in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, or mitochondria ? Are you curious whether these molecules move freely or undergo confined movement, how fast and how far far they move, how they are dynamically arranged at nanoscale resolution in live cells, or how they change behavior after a pharmacological stimulation or in a disease model ? If so, then you should not miss this workshop at the Department of Biomedicine at UiB.

To potential applicants/interested actors in Norway,

Would you like to contribute to EU’s Mission on Cancer? Are you interested in primary prevention and/or optimising treatments for refractory cancers?

Join us for an online workshop on two topics within the Cancer Mission’s open call:

• Improving and upscaling primary prevention of cancer through implementation research
• Pragmatic clinical trials to optimise treatments for patients with refractory cancers

The workshop will be a chance to better understand the two topics, to pitch and brainstorm ideas for the topics, and to network with others with the same interest for these or future topics. This workshop is open for any interested actors in Norway.

Date: June 15, 10:00 – 12:00

Register here

Agenda:
10:00 Welcome and introduction to the Mission Cancer Hub Norway
10:15 Primary prevention:

1. Brief introduction to the topic by NCP Sofia Anderholm Strand, Research Council of Norway.
2. Introductions and pitches by participants. Feedback and brainstorming possible ideas.
