Have you already encountered data questions such as: What data should I archive? What is FAIR? How do I write a good data management plan? or What does Open Science mean in practice? The Open Science & Data Help Desk is here for you at EGU24 in the Exhibition Hall X2 at #X212 and online!
The Open Science & Data Help Desk features resources that can help researchers make their data and software FAIRer and more open and the scientific process more transparent. The UNESCO definition of open science includes open knowledge, open engagement and dialogue, and open communications. This year, we take these recommendations up through the daily ‘featured demonstration hour’ from 12:45 to 13:45, where you can learn about different aspects of open science from a range of experts and discuss them with us.
The Open Science & Data Help Desk is a program of the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP), EGU, and American Geophysical Union (AGU). It is staffed with experts from the Earth science informatics community to answer open science-related questions on-site and online such as
- How do I deal with large datasets or model data?
- Which data or data share should I archive?
- What is FAIR?
- What is the best practice for a data management plan?
- Should I pursue a degree in data science or stick to domain science?
- …and many more…
When: 15 – 19 April 2024 during EGU24 General Assembly
Where: Onsite in the Exhibition Hall X2 at Booth #X212 and online.
