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

Invitation to WiNoDa Webinars

by Bellini, Ginevra

Dear colleagues, On behalf of the WiNoDa Knowledge Lab<https://winoda.de/en/english/> at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, I would like to invite you to our new season of webinars, ranging from partecipatory research to hands-on tools to harmonise your datasets and build sound recognition software. All webinars are free of charge and in English but registration is necessary (the link can be found in the title of the webinar). Feel free to circulate this email among your network. We would love to see you there! [cid:image003.jpg@01DC2D3A.20492590] Participatory Research and Public Engagement in Context: Frameworks, Practices, and Institutional Transformation<https://winoda.de/en/event/webinar-participatory-research-and-public-engage…> October 14th, 11am CET Participatory research and public engagement foster collaboration, shared learning, and responsibility in science. This webinar introduces key formats of participation, explores practices in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and France, and shares insights from institutional change at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. Ideal for researchers and practitioners, looking to integrate participation into their work in meaningful, sustainable ways. [cid:image005.jpg@01DC2D3A.20492590] Practical Passive Acoustic Monitoring with Audiomoth for Birds, Bats and Orthoptera<https://winoda.de/en/event/webinar-practical-passive-acoustic-monitoring-wi…> October 28th, 11am CET Passive acoustic monitoring lets researchers study animals by recording their songs and calls. With affordable devices like Audiomoths and powerful tools like opensoundscape, it’s now easier than ever to classify recordings, build custom models, and monitor multiple species at once. Join our beginner-friendly webinar to explore how to get started with Audiomoths and learn a workflow for analyzing birds, bats, and orthoptera. [cid:ada1ece9-6e50-479d-8414-4dfc4cef98fd] From Messy Tables to Meaningful Insights: LLMs in Biodiversity Data Curation<https://winoda.de/en/event/webinar-llms-in-biodiversity-data-curation/> November 11th, 11 CET Struggling with inconsistent species names, messy columns, or vague locality notes?

Invitation to de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE and GHGA Webinar - Building a RDM Ecosystem - 14.10.205, 13:00 CEST

by González Ribao, Vanessa

*** Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Veranstaltung ausschließlich in englischer Sprache stattfindet *** Dear NFDI4lifescience Community, de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany<https://www.denbi.de/> and GHGA<http://www.ghga.de/> (The German Human Genome Phenome Archive) is inviting you to the next episode of our joint Webinar Series: Building a RDM Ecosystem: The Role of de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany and how to use the de.NBI Cloud. The German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI), alongside ELIXIR Germany, is building a robust Research Data Management (RDM) ecosystem for life sciences. They offer services, tools, and training, with a central component being the de.NBI Cloud. This federated national cloud, supported by the Competence Center for Cloud Technologies and Data Management (de.KCD), provides scalable compute and storage for big data and collaboration. The webinar offers a practical guide to the de.NBI Cloud, including the SimpleVM platform for easily managing virtual machines. Future efforts will focus on integrating the Cloud into RDM frameworks, implementing FAIR data principles, and expanding support for the secure and responsible handling of sensitive data. This webinar is aimed at students, early career researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians and everyone interested in using the de.NBI Cloud. The webinar will be held by Daniel Wibberg from Forschungszentrum Jülich (de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE) . The event is in English, it takes approx. 60 minutes and will be held on 14th October 2025, 13:00 CET (available afterwards on demand<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXMwmQxyLByXU38-1aG7m-b1A6UADZcxw>).

by Atemkeng, Maureen Fonji

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to the WiNoDa Online Winter School 2025, a five‑day, interactive programme designed to build practical data skills for researchers, curators and students working with natural science, archaeology and biodiversity collections. About the Winter School * Dates: 24–28 November 2025 (online) * Organisers: German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio), Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (MfN), German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and the Vernetzungs‑ und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg (VuK), in cooperation with NFDI4Biodiversity. * Goal: To provide a comprehensive introduction to research‑data management for object‑related datasets, covering the full data journey from data collection and standards to enrichment and publication * Format: Expert lectures and hands‑on sessions across biodiversity, palaeontology, archaeology and related fields. What you will learn Participants will work with real collection data and learn to: * Apply the FAIR data principles and meet data‑quality standards. * Navigate and harmonise diverse collection databases, including understanding data types, standards and persistent identifiers. * Enrich and visualise datasets and manage them efficiently using SQL. * Understand how open data and the data economy drive innovation : reuse of existing datasets saves time and money, avoids duplication of experiments and allows researchers to draw new insights without repeating costly data collection. Practical details * Registration: Please register via our event page: https://events.gfbio.org/event/66/. * Deadline: Registration is open until 15 October 2025 * Capacity: Participation is limited to 30 people, there is no fee * Language: English We encourage interested researchers, curators and students to apply early and join us for this unique opportunity to expand their data‑management skills and explore the value of data reuse. If you know colleagues who might benefit, please share this invitation widely across your networks. For questions or further information, feel free to contact the WiNoDa Knowledge Lab team (winoda(a)gfbio.org<mailto:winoda@gfbio.org>). We look forward to welcoming you online in November!
