February 13-17 is International Love Data Week 2023. This year’s theme is “Data: Agent of Change”.
Data is the fundamental component upon which research results are based. You should treat it with love and care so that it can feed and nurture your ideas and reflections. Share it with the world or keep it safe, but make sure you manage it sustainably or it could turn into an ugly mess!

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!
