Ready For BioData Management? – Introduction to Data Management Plans is an introductory one-day course aiming at disseminating Data Management best practices and teaching the basics of making and using Data Management Plans (DMPs) in the context of research activities.

The course features two introductory lectures on Data Management and DMPs, followed by a hands-on DMP exercise where participants will form groups to fill in a DMP for a mock research project on our custom canvas. The produced DMPs will then be presented, discussed and evaluated.

The course will be hosted by the Bioinformatics Open Days 2020 at the University of Minho, Braga, on February 19th.
You need to register through the Bioinformatics Open Days website. An entry fee for either the main conference or just the course is required.

Target Audience: Researchers, Lab Managers, PhD and Master Students, other science professionals.
No previous experience with DMPs required.

Trainers: João Cardoso (BioData.pt/INESC-ID), Daniel Faria (BioData.pt/INESC-ID)
