data

Gain the skills to use scientific data sets !

Program overview

3 chapters - 12 modules - 186 hours

Course curriculum

The course is organised around three themes: understanding the data environment, mastering tools and managing data open to the public.

The first part of the course is structured around a doctrinal component related to basic knowledge of the scientific data environment.

The other two sections take a practical approach, so you can master the tools used to analyse scientific data.

The goal of this course is for students to be able to thoughtfully manage open science and to be trained in how to open up science data. The course therefore involves sharing, publishing, storing and archiving data in a secure way and in such a way that it can potentially give rise to reuse or commercialisation.

1 - Understand the scientific data environment - 24 hours

The first part of the course deals with issues relating to collaborative research, financing, strategies for the development of data science projects, and to the understanding of legal rules and regulations that apply to data.

2 - Mastering the tools to analyse science data - 24 hours

In the course’s second section, you’ll understand how data is extracted, contextualised, combed through and explored, as well as how it can be secured (technically and legally) and protected.
No prior technical knowledge is required.

3 - Managing open science data - 75 hours

The third part focuses on how to share, conserve, store, archive, and commercialise data (scientifically and legally).
More details are available in the downloadable curriculum.
