Teaching material

On this page, you will find links to teaching material specifically focusing on how to search for research data. The teaching material consists of a PowerPoint presentation and a teacher’s guide. Searching for Research Data is originally designed as a 4-hour course targeting PhD students and researchers. It is comprised of 6 sections that can be combined depending on how much time is available as well as the participants’ prior knowledge of the field. If you are not a teacher, the material will give input to exercises you can do yourself to search for research data.

The material and other educational resources can be found on LearningLib (in Danish)
