ELIXIR Estonia’s July to December 2025 Highlights

In the second half of 2025, ELIXIR Estonia continued to deepen its collaborations in research data management, both within Estonia and across Europe, while also expanding staff involvement in training activities and knowledge-sharing initiatives. Throughout the period, we placed a stronger focus on data management by participating in and organising events in partnership. A standout moment was co-organising a Nordic Computational Biology Week Conference, an experience that will help us take on larger events in the future. Alongside these activities, our team contributed three new publications, reflecting our ongoing commitment to advancing research and supporting the broader scientific community.

Crash Course in Data Management - 19.02.2026

Data management is an essential part of scientific research and is crucial for maximizing the value of data. Crash course in Data Management is an introductory course that equips researchers with the necessary skills for effective organization and management of research data. Participants will gain knowledge of best practices in data documentation, backup, and sharing. We will go through exercises and assignments to reinforce new knowledge.

RDMkit: Guiding Life Scientists in Research Data Management

ELIXIR Estonia is proud to showcase the Research Data Management Kit (RDMkit), a community-led knowledge resource for life sciences that helps researchers and data stewards navigate the complexities of managing research data. Developed through the ELIXIR CONVERGE project and supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, the RDMkit provides guidance on Research Data management that aligns with FAIR principles, ensuring data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

Licensing Research Outputs - 05.09.2025

In scientific research, you work with many types of outputs, whether created by you or by others. How can you ensure that others give you proper credit when using your materials? And how can you know exactly what you are allowed to do with resources created by others? These questions fall under the scope of copyright law.

This lecture will explain what copyright laws do, who holds the rights to research materials, and how those rights affect their use. We will cover the role of licenses in protecting and sharing different types of outputs—such as figures, datasets, and software—and explain what each license permits. Finally, we will demonstrate how to choose and apply an appropriate license to your own research outputs.
