Licenses for Research Data

Time and Space:       19.5.2022, 10:00-11:00 AM, online

Target Groups:         Researchers from all disciplines and research support staff

Language:               English

Description

In order to make research data (re)usable, they should be assigned a suitable license. Licences define how data may be used by others. As such, they are a key element in ensuring the R – Reusability – in the FAIR data principles. Most repositories and data archives let researchers choose a license when they deposit data. The webinar will give an overview of licensing options for research data with a special focus on the Creative Commons licenses. It will further discuss the topic of licenses in the data management plans of European projects.

  • Introduction to the Benefits of Open Science and Open Licensing – Dr. Vanessa Hannesschläger, University of Vienna

Webinar Series

The event series “Research Data Management in Austria” is aimed at researchers and / or people involved in research support and serves to promote networking and exchange on the topic of research data management, writing a data management plan and similar related topics.
