***Mehrfachempfang bitten wir zu entschuldigen***
Liebe KollegInnen,
unsere Praxis-Gesprächsreihe „FDM@BUA“ startet mit neuen, spannenden Veranstaltungen in das Sommersemester 2026. Wir laden Sie herzlich ein, neue, aktuelle Themen rund um das Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement kennenzulernen, zu vertiefen und sich mit Expert:innen aus der Praxisauszutauschen.
Bringen Sie gerne eigene Szenarien und Fragen aus Ihrem Projekt oder Ihrer Forschungsgruppe mit, die wir im Anschluss gemeinsam diskutieren können.
Die nächsten Veranstaltungen:
1. Biologische Sammlungen vernetzen: Daten, Standards, Zusammenarbeit (13.05.2026 | 10:00 - 11:30)
Anton Güntsch, Leiter des Zentrums für Biodiversitätsinformatik und Sammlungsdatenintegration (Botanischer Garten Berlin), gibt einen Überblick über das Management und die Vernetzung biologischer Sammlungsdaten auf lokaler, nationaler und internationaler Ebene und erläutert. Am Beispiel des Botanischen Gartens die Vielfalt biologischer Sammlungen und ihre Bedeutung für die Forschung. Im Fokus stehen nachhaltiges Sammlungsdatenmanagement, Vernetzungsansätze sowie Standards und Infrastrukturen – einschließlich der Rolle semantischer Interoperabilität. Außerdem lernen Sie Entwicklungen in der Massendigitalisierung und Citizen-Science-Ansätze zur Datentranskription kennen.
Anmeldung: https://www.berlin-university-alliance.de/commitments/sharing-resources/sha…
1. Audiovisuelle Daten transkribieren leicht gemacht: ASR4Memory (19.05.2026 | 10:00 - 11:30)
Das an der Universitätsbibliothek der FU entwickelte Tool „ASR4Memory“ ermöglicht die automatische Transkription audiovisueller (Forschungs-)Daten insbesondere aus den historisch arbeitenden Geisteswissenschaften. Audiovisuelle Quellen können in über 30 Sprachen datenschutzkonform auf lokaler Infrastruktur transkribiert und in standardisierten Formaten (u. a. TEI/XML) bereitgestellt werden. Dr. Tobias Kilgus stellt Ihnen Funktionen, Stärken und Perspektiven der Open-Source-Anwendung vor und diskutiert ihren Beitrag zum nachnutzungsorientierten Forschungsdatenmanagement.

Dear Training Community,
de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany<https://www.denbi.de/> and GHGA<http://www.ghga.de/> (The German Human Genome Phenome Archive) are inviting you to the next episode of our joint Webinar Series: Enhancing Gene Ontology for Medical Lipidomics.
In this webinar, you can learn more about MAPtoGO, a novel Multiomics Analysis Platform designed for simultaneous Gene Ontology (GO)-based enrichment across proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics. We will cover how to perform unified interpretation of diverse biomolecules to identify enriched GO terms, physicochemical categories, and disease associations in a single analysis. We implemented MAPtoGO in a lightweight web application that is openly available [https://lifs-tools.org/map-to-go] and free of charge. We will also demonstrate how the application’s integration with Goslin allows for the seamless handling of various lipid nomenclature dialects, transforming complex datasets into interpretable statistical plots and actionable biological insights.
This webinar is aimed at students, early career researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians, and everyone interested in mechanistic multiomics integration and advanced computational lipidomics.
The webinar will be held by Dominik Kopczynski from the University of Vienna.
The event is in English, it takes approx. 60 minutes and will be held on 7th May 2026 at 13:00 CEST (available afterwards on demand<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXMwmQxyLByXU38-1aG7m-b1A6UADZcxw>). Attendance is free, but we ask for registration<https://dkfz-de.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/rIRYr6tGScSS2ATOWGOiGQ>.

Dear colleagues,
Have you ever wondered which collection practices and historical contexts led to the creation of the collections you work with?
To facilitate fruitful learning and discussion on the topic, we invite you to our upcoming online seminar series, “Ethics in Action: Working with Sensitive Data from Scientific Collections<https://winoda.de/en/educational-offers/seminar-series-ethics-in-action/>”.
In this seminar series, we will explore the ethics of data derived from scientific collections, covering topics ranging from dinosaur fossils to looted artefacts, as well as threatened species and genetic resources. Our panel of excellent speakers from around the world will highlight the importance of understanding the historical and ethical context of collection data, discuss the challenges of working with such materials responsibly, and present practical approaches and tools for addressing these complexities. The series aims to foster dialogue and collaboration towards more just, transparent, and responsible practices in the management and use of collection data.
For more information, please refer to the attached flyer or visit our website<https://winoda.de/en/educational-offers/seminar-series-ethics-in-action/>.<https://winoda.de/en/educational-offers/seminar-series-ethics-in-action/>

Dear colleagues,
[cid:14a0ee78-4578-403a-b92f-54cc2800140a]
Are you curious about what tiny mammals can reveal about the state of our ecosystems?
In the upcoming webinar from the WiNoDa Knowledge Lab<https://winoda.de/en/english/>, Dr. Anke Hoffmann<https://www.museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/en/museum/today/team/anke.hoffmann> will take you straight into the heart of small-mammal field research – where rodents and shrews become key indicators of biodiversity, habitat health, and environmental change.
Dr. Hoffmann will present the research carried out by a German-Polish research team in the Lower Oder Valley National Park. You’ll learn how researchers capture and study these elusive, mostly nocturnal animals and discover the surprising variety of data they provide – from species identity and population trends to ecological relationships and habitat preferences.
We’ll explore which data can be collected in the field, how they are analysed, and what they can tell us about broader ecological patterns. Whether you’re interested in species monitoring, conservation biology, data collection methods, or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at hands-on wildlife science, this session offers a clear and engaging introduction.
The webinar will take place on April 7th at 11am CET. It is free but registration is required. For more information and registration, visit our website<https://winoda.de/en/event/webinar-small-mammal-field-research/>!
On the YouTube channel of the Museum fĂĽr Naturkunde Berlin you can find a short video introduction to the project<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6YuGB3X3c4&t=9s>, with English subtitles available.
This session is a great introduction also for our upcoming Summer School "Ecology Field Training: Data Collection and Analysis at Lower Oder Valley"<https://winoda.de/en/event/ecology-field-training/> taking place from July 21st to July 25th, in presence at the Lower Oder Valley National Park. Registration will open soon — save the date!
We hope to see you there!
Kind regards,
Ginevra Bellini
