FAIR Research Data Management with STOCKS (onsite+online).

Organisers

• GBCS

Course Description

During this 2-days training, you will learn everything about STOCKS i.e.:

• managing your collections (antibodies, plasmids, oligos …) and lab instruments,
• using batch operations to efficiently create & edit hundreds of items at once,
• using the embedded Electronic Lab Notebook and sharing your protocols,
• describing how your samples were prepared and how they derive one from another down to datasets (images, fastQ reads…)
• loading your raw and derived datasets
• preparing your data for deposition in public repositories

You will also learn how STOCKS implements FAIRness and is compliant with international standards and ontologies; facilitating data publication to public repositories. This will also be the chance to discuss different data management approaches with colleagues and feedback on your experience and needs to the STOCKS developers.

Audience

Whether you are a web lab scientist looking after a powerful ELN solution, a lab manager wondering how to share the lab stocks and protocols in the group, a data analyst looking for the metadata describing datasets to process, a data manager shaping how raw and processed data should be managed in different projects, a group leader expecting a connected and open-science-ready lab or a facility head thinking about how to shape his facility into a traceable and FAIR set-up, this training is made for you.

Prerequisites: enthusiasm
