The Ready for BioData Management? Intensive Course took place in person on 9-10 October 2025 at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. The course was designed to provide life sciences researchers with a practical and comprehensive introduction to Research Data Management (RDM) across the full research data lifecycle. This two-day training combined theoretical lectures with hands-on group exercises and discussions, enabling participants to explore common RDM challenges and become familiar with key tools such as Galaxy, Dataverse, and the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW).

Target audience
This course was intended for researchers, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and lab managers working with biomedical or life sciences data. While no prior experience in Research Data Management was required, participants were expected to have some familiarity with handling research data.
