In addition, zedif offers a Digital Research Clinic nearly monthly. It provides the opportunity to work on own research software and data analysis projects from short scripts to elaborate applications with the support of experts (German & English). It starts with a short impulse on useful tasks and tools for software development, automation of data analysis, or making research reproducible. In addition, ideas and solutions can be exchanged with other participants. The next dates are 02.11.2023 and 07.12.2023.

For the Data Literacy offers, the kick-off and information event takes place on 23.10.2023 (German).
Hands-on Sessions cover a wide range of topics: e.g., tools for working with tabular data, critically examining statistics in everyday life, understanding and questioning artificial intelligence and its application.
The Data Literacy certificate program (DaLiJe) provides the opportunity to delve deeper into the topics of data and digitization. The first level consists of an online self-study course and hands-on sessions. For the second level, modules from various courses can be taken by students from all departments and credited towards the certificate.
In the course of the semester, there will be further offerings, e.g. a datathon and a beginner’s workshop on machine learning for non-computer scientists. Details can be found on the website of the Data Literacy project.
In the monthly online Coffee Lectures of the Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management on Wednesdays 14:00-14:30, various tools for research data management will be introduced (German). You can register via the network’s events website.
