The Introduction to Research Data Management (RDM) in Life Sciences Training Course will take place on 17 October 2025 in Ghent, Belgium. This training is designed to help researchers embed RDM practices into their projects from the very beginning, always keeping the publication process in focus. 
Throughout the day, participants will learn how to organise, document, and share their data in ways that promote transparency, reproducibility, long-term accessibility, and high-impact publishing. Through hands-on exercises and interactive discussions, the course introduces essential concepts such as FAIR data, open data, and data management, while also covering practical topics like metadata standards and selecting appropriate repositories. 

Who should attend
This course is intended for researchers at any career stage who wish to improve their research data management skills, whether they are preparing their first manuscript or enhancing existing practices.
