Description:
Can the paper-based laboratory notebook be replaced? – Routes into electronic lab documentation.
For centuries, the research process in biomedicine is documented in paper-based laboratory notebooks. As nowadays more and more data are collected in digital form however, a growing number of researchers is considering the use of electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs). ELNs offer the chance to foster active research data management, as they facilitate collecting, documenting and sharing data with the corresponding metadata, such as experimental parameters. Therefore, many universities and other research institutions are currently developing support services for ELNs. The aim of this course is to provide participants with basic knowledge on ELNs as an emerging technology.

Who understands your research data? – Recent approaches for data management in the life sciences
Research data should be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable – in the first place by its generator, usually with colleagues from the lab, frequently with external collaborators and sometimes with the global scientific community.
Recently, a vast number of technologies have been developed to facilitate the necessary steps in order to reach these aims. The aim of this course is to provide participants with basic knowledge on tools, standards and workflows for cutting edge research data management provided by MBExC and the Göttingen eResearch Alliance.
