The Data Train training program focusses on teaching various competencies of research data management and data science and is offered to doctoral researchers across institutes and disciplines. If places are available, post-doctoral researchers and advanced students are welcome to register for different courses. The „Starter Track“ is open to anyone interested. Participation is free of charge.
The program starts with an overview lecture series – the „Starter Track“ – from January to May on various disciplines improving your data skills. It is initiated each January with an official Kick-off Event and Get-together. From June to December each year, the two Operator Tracks alternate, i.e. the „Data Steward“ and the „Data Scientist“, which are composed of hands-on workshops using diverse computational analysis methods. We also regularly offer „Data Stories“, which are invited talks from industry and academia.

Starter Track
The Starter Track lectures (Level 1 “Understand”) transmit a generic knowledge in research data management and data science. This track is designed for anyone who wants to get started in data literacy.
Schedule: January to May 2025
Registration: From Autumn 2024
Operator Track 'Data Scientist'
Data science is concerned with extracting information and gaining knowledge from data using computational analysis methods. In the hands-on workshops of the Operator Track ‘Data Scientist’, participants learn mathematical and statistical methods, artificial intelligence applications, computer science concepts for data analysis and data visualization skills.
Schedule: June to December 2025
Registration: From April 2025 (open until two weeks before the respective course)
