Love your data!

February 13-17 is International Love Data Week 2023. This year’s theme is “Data: Agent of Change”.

Keep an eye out for our upcoming data management training sessions. You can also choose from a long list of online events taking place worldwide this week to learn more about research data management, open data, visualisation, Wikidata and more, including some in Swiss institutions!
