Love Data Week: Managing research data
02/10/2026As part of the international "Love Data Week" campaign, the University Library is offering information and advice events on research data management from 10 to 12 February 2026.
Laboratory values, measurement data, texts, audiovisual information, questionnaires, software, simulations: A wide variety of data is generated in scientific research. They are increasingly available in digital form, which is why their management is of great importance. The secure storage, detailed description and publication of digital research data within the legal framework are therefore of great importance for the scientific community.
Coffee Lectures for all interested parties
As part of the international "Love Data Week", the Research Data Management (RDM) team at the University Library (UB) and the Computer Centre is offering a wide range of information and advice. Users of Würzburg's services will also have their say in the form of experience reports and best-practice examples. The team of the Bavarian Open Data Portal will also be involved and will report on the integration and visualisation of Würzburg research data.
In five online lectures, the "Coffee Lectures", scientists and other interested parties will have the opportunity to find out about the latest developments in research data management. They will also learn more about the services offered by the University Library for the publication and documentation of digital research data.
Participation is free of charge
The online events will take place from Tuesday to Thursday, 10 to 12 February 2026, between 11:00 and 12:00. They offer compact input on the following topics
- Where's the data - research tools and repositories for research data
- Electronic lab notebooks: Central services at the JMU
- WueData & JMU Data Journals: Institutional publication channels for FD at the University of Würzburg
- OpenByData - The Bavarian regional portal for open data from research and administration
