Training

As part of the EXPLORE@Brookes programme for staff researchers, there are regularly scheduled sessions in research data management. For research students, the Graduate College has scheduled workshops. Alternatively, there are some external options suggested below.

Mantra teaches researchers to manage digital data as part of the research process. Mantra provides a solid, comprehensive overview with excellent practical modules.

Data Carpentry is an open education resource. It is recommended for staff currently teaching and needing to convey data management principles.

DataTree training is focused on environmental science and sponsored by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Researchers applying to NERC are advised to do this training. However, the training also includes valuable data visualisation and policy modules with a broader focus.

Foster training is helpful for researchers applying for European Union funding. Its focus is responsible research and innovation. The Responsible Data Sharer is recommended for those who want to do open science but have intellectual property or ethics constraints.
