Crashkurs Forschungsdatenmanagement

What exactly does research data management (RDM) mean? What are the advantages of RDM? How can quality-assured RDM be guaranteed? The course therefore addresses the topics of data documentation and metadata, data storage, long-term archiving, data publication, legal and ethical aspects of RDM, and data management plans (DMPs).

Datenschutz – Eine Einführung

We produce and are constantly confronted with different types of data in our everyday (working) lives. Depending on the type, special handling of the data is necessary, especially when it comes to personal and sensitive data. The course provides insights into general aspects of data protection, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Protecting sensitive data

This course will introduce you to legal and ethical considerations for researchers working with sensitive data.

Zertifikatskurs Forschungsdatenmanagement

Implementierung eines Gastwissenschaftsarbeitsplatzes im RDCnet – Technische Ableitung zur Konfikuration eines Thin Clients

Research data centres that wish provide sensitive microdata must implement guest research workstations (GWAP) for this purpose. Such workstations are protected according to defined security criteria and are located in a controlled and secure environment in order to fulfil the data protection requirements for personal data.

As part of RDCnet, a technical manual was developed for this purpose, which describes and presents a reference system for using a thin client as a GWAP. This manual serves as a guideline for the IT staff of an RDC and can help to efficiently implement the technical concept of a GWAP.
