Lost files, unclear folder structures and undocumented datasets cost researchers time and can put results at risk. Funders and journals also increasingly expect data to be well managed and shared openly, so good data management is now a core research skill rather than an optional extra. This introductory webinar gives you practical skills to organise and manage your research data effectively.
Planning how your research data will be collected, stored, shared and preserved is now a requirement from most funders, and a well-crafted Data Management Plan (DMP) can strengthen your grant application. In this DMP consultation, our expert helps you anticipate data management-related risks, budget for the resources you’ll need, and clarify team responsibilities early, before small oversights become costly problems. The result is a plan that makes your work more efficient and your data more FAIR, so your research continues to have an impact long after the project ends.

Estonia is one of Europe’s most digitally advanced countries. From X-Road to nationally coordinated digital services, we have built an ecosystem that makes sharing and using information remarkably efficient. But strong digital infrastructure alone does not create strong research data management.
As research becomes increasingly collaborative and data-intensive, researchers need more than technology - they need clear guidance, institutional support, professional expertise, and communities that help them manage data throughout its lifecycle. That is exactly what ELEVATE-DM aims to strengthen.
This 4 session training course “Training on FAIR Principles in Data Management” is tailored for Kyiv School of Economics, the Ukrainian partner in the BRIDGE twinning project that is being implemented together with University of Tartu. Covering basic data management best practices and trickiest aspects of handling data with a focus on social sciences.
ELIXIR-Estonia will provide a bioinformatics course that will cover an overview of basic R, statistics, graphical visualization, data management and sharing.
Andmehaldus projektijuhtidele on ülevaatlik töötuba, mis on suunatud projektijuhtidele. Kursus annab sissejuhatuse andmehalduse peamistesse teemadesse, keskendudes eelkõige isikuandmete käsitlemisele ja sellega seotud nõuetele.
Töötoas tutvustatakse, millised teemad kuuluvad andmehalduse valdkonda ning millist väärtust hea andmehaldus projektile loob. Eraldi käsitletakse andmehaldusplaani, selle sisu, eesmärki ja praktilist kasu projektijuhi vaatenurgast. Fookus on sellel, et projektijuht mõistaks andmehaldusplaani rolli ja kasu projektile.
Join our workshop for practical guidance on Data Management Plans (DMPs). We’ll discuss relevant resources, the data life cycle, READMEs, GDPR considerations, and FAIR data sharing.
The session incorporates 3-4 dedicated 30-minute writing blocks for you to actively draft your DMP. Our data steward will be present throughout to offer support and answer your questions.
On 12 February from 10:00 to 16:00, the Grant Office invites researchers and project managers to the research funding information day “Funding Nudge 2026”, which will take place at the university library.
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.
