Neue Episode der Legal Training Series: "Die Lizenz zum Forschen"

by Singson, Lea Sophie

Liebe Alle, der Survivalguide for Law and Ethics in Research von FAIRagro, NFDI4Biodiversity und NFDI4Earth geht in die nächste Runde! Unsere nächste Episode trägt den Titel: [FAIRagro Legal Workshop Series: Don't Panic! A Survival Guide for Law and Ethics in Research. Episode III: Die Lizenz zum Forschen: Wem gehören Forschungsdaten und was darf ich damit tun?] "Die Lizenz zum Forschen: Wem gehören Forschungsdaten und was darf ich damit tun?": Von Messwerten im Feld über komplexe Modellierungen bis hin zur Textpublikation - Forschungsdaten in der Agrosystemforschung sind divers und oft das Herzstück eines Projekts. Doch wer hat hieran eigentlich Rechte und wie darf ich sie teilen und nachnutzen? Taucht in unserem dreitägigen Workshop ein in die Welt von Urheberrecht, Lizenzen und Gemeinfreiheit. Erhaltet eine verständliche und praxisnahe Erklärung, wann Forschungsdaten urheberrechtlich geschützt sind und welche Lizenzsysteme - von Creative Commons bis zu speziellen Softwarelizenzen - in der Forschung sinnvoll eingesetzt werden können. Entdeckt über das Urheberrecht hinaus eine Verbündete in der Guten Wissenschaftlichen Praxis. Übt anhand realer Beispiele, Lizenztexte zu verstehen, passende Lizenzen und public domain marks zu vergeben, um rechtliche Fallstricke zu vermeiden. Mit einer Mischung aus Impulsen, Diskussionen und praktischen Übungen vermittelt der Workshop das nötige Rüstzeug, um Daten rechtlich fundiert, verantwortungsvoll und zugleich offen zu nutzen und zu teilen. Der Workshop findet in deutscher Sprache statt und richtet sich an Forschende der Agrosystems-, Umwelt-, Biodiversitäts- und Erdsystemwissenschaften. Interesse?

Workshop Announcement: Data Visualization for Biological Sciences (18–20 November 2025, online)

by Paulmann, Carmen

Dear Life Science Community, We are pleased to announce an upcoming workshop titled “Data Visualization for Biological Sciences<https://events.hifis.net/event/3045/overview>”, to be held online via Zoom from 18 to 20 November 2025. ________________________________ 🗓️ Overview & Goals In this practical, interactive course, you'll learn to create engaging, scientifically accurate visualizations specifically tailored for biological research. Using programming tools like R and Python, along with graphic editing software such as Inkscape, you'll gain essential skills for clearly and effectively visualizing genomic and biological data. Some prior programming experience is required for this course. Our aim is not to dive deeply into every coding detail, but rather to equip you with practical skills to adapt existing visualization scripts for your own data. Participants will collaborate in small groups (3-4 participants per group, about 10 groups), creating visualizations from provided datasets that cover topics like allele frequencies, mutation patterns, and other genomic data. Additionally, participants are encouraged to explore AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini for coding support, troubleshooting, and inspiration, as they work on their visualizations. We'll discuss effective and responsible ways to use such tools, addressing both their advantages and potential pitfalls. Each session concludes with group discussions and instructor-led feedback to help refine visualizations and deepen understanding of best practices, visualization design principles, and publication standards. This course is designed for PhD students, postdocs and early-career researchers in biology, bioinformatics, and related fields. While the concepts and skills taught are broadly applicable across the life sciences, our use cases and datasets are primarily drawn from genomics. ________________________________ 📋 What to Bring / Requirements * A laptop (Windows, macOS or Linux) with R and Python installed. Alternatively, Google Colab can be used for Python and R exercises. * Access to your preferred AI assistant (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini, or another system) for coding support and troubleshooting (or a Google account) * Inkscape (a free, open-source vector graphics editor) Prerequisite: Some programming experience is expected. ________________________________ 🕒 Schedule Highlights * Tue, Nov 18, 10:00–17:00 — Foundations & Basic Plotting: scatter plots, bar plots, violin plots, boxplots, histograms; data handling and annotations. * Wed, Nov 19, 10:00–17:00 — Advanced Techniques: dimensionality reduction (PCA), annotated heatmaps (e.g. via ComplexHeatmap in R), color theory, layout strategies. * Thu, Nov 20, 10:00–17:00 — Publication-Ready Graphics: polishing visualizations, using Inkscape, handling DPI and formats, assembling multi-panel figures Registration deadline: 02 November 2025 ________________________________ If you are interested, please consider applying soon, as spaces are limited: https://events.hifis.net/event/3045/registrations/2993/ We hope you can join us for this exciting opportunity to improve your data visualization skills!

New Episode of the Survival Guide for Law and Ethics in Research: CARE-ing about Indigenous Data in a Wide World

by Jonas Kuppler

Dear All, after our successful debut with our Survival Guide for Law and Ethics in Research, FAIRagro, NFDI4Biodiversity and NFDI4Earth present you another Episode all about CARE! *Date: 07.10.2025, 14:30 – 16:00* ** *Content: CARE-ing about Indigenous Data in a Wide World* Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Governance, and Ethics refers to the rights of indigenous peoples to manage their data (sovereignty) and how it’s used by others (governance). The terms build upon the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and is most widely known today through the acronym CARE: Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics. While these lofty principles may be universal, practical implementation is often bounded by the jurisdictions that the data lives in – who and where it was collected, where it will be analyzed, where it will be stored. In this workshop we will discuss Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Governance, and Ethics and how to apply the CARE Principles to your work. We will look at practical case studies around claimed indigenous data and look for relationships between them and your research. *Target Group: Researchers, data stewards, etc. from agricultural, biodiversity and earth system research. * The Workshop will be held in English. Interested? Register here: https://fairagro.net/en/event/care-ing-about-indigenous-data-in-a-wide-worl… Have a great day and take CARE 😉 Lea, Sophie, Jonas and Daniel -- *Dr. Jonas Kuppler* Interdisciplinary Training | Team "Synergies & Networks" Coordinator NFDI4Earth Academy | HIDA Liaison Officer Phone: +49 331 6264-1090 Mail: jonas.kuppler(a)gfz.de Web: NFDI4Earth Academy <https://www.nfdi4earth.de/2participate/academy> & Synergies & Networks <https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/about-us/organisation/board-bodies-administra…> *GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences* Public Law Foundation State of Brandenburg Telegrafenberg, D-14473 Potsdam ___________________________________ #CallMeByMyFirstName Profil: https://www.gfz.de/en/staff/jonas.kuppler
