Data Train – Training in Research Data Management and Data Science

Data Train is a centralized training for doctoral candidates at member institutions of the U Bremen Research Alliance. The courses are allocated to tracks and build on one another. The "Starter Track" consists of interactive lectures giving an overview on topics in the fields of research data management and data science. In the two operator tracks "Data Steward" and "Data Scientist", students gain competences of a data steward and data scientist, respectively, and apply digital tools directly in hands-on workshops. Doctoral candidates can complete the entire track or take individual courses. More about Data Train
