DU Scientific Data Management (UM)

The aim of the course is to raise awareness and provide training in open science techniques, as well as to explain their meaning and implications. The training program offers a broad range of courses in computer science applied to data management, data engineering (anonymization, storage, archiving), project engineering, intellectual property and digital law, etc. For this reason, the training program also offers courses in knowledge and know-how (practical work).

This is a degree program leading to a university diploma (DU). However, some modules can be taken independently of each other. In this case, the program will only lead to a certificate and not a degree.

It is open for initial and continuing education.
