EUR Data Coffee Breaks

The EUR Data Coffee Breaks are short, focused, and informal presentations around Research Data Management (RDM). Each month is dedicated to a different RDM topic, and each topic is presented twice. EUR researchers can join the online sessions (via this Teams link) that take place on Monday and Thursday. The presentations start with a 10–15-minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes for questions and discussion. These short presentations are of course nothing more than starting points, but we are happy to organize in-depth support and training when needed. The sessions are not recorded, but slides will be published after the session.    

What topics will be covered?

Most themes are presented by the Research Data Stewards, but we welcome guests to present more specialized topics. Do you have suggestions for a topic or a speaker? Please get in touch via datasteward at eur.nl  

In 2022, the Data Coffee Breaks were first organized at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences as ESSB Data Coffee Breaks. For some of the topics covered see the presentations in the EUR Research Data Stewardship community on Zenodo (in the schedule below you can find links to some of those presentations under Materials).
