Data management course series

The SIOS Data Management System Working group (SDMS WG) has prepared a series of online training courses.

The first edition took place in March and April 2021 and was led by specialists from SIOS-KC, MET Norway, NERSC, NINA and the Nansen Legacy.
The training consisted of presentations (online or pre-recorded), exercises and discussions on specific problems with the tutor.

The offer of training topics in the future will be extended based on the participants' suggestions.

Below you find the training schedule and detailed information about the training courses along with registration forms.
