Datenwerkstatt Jena 2025

Date: March 24th - 28th, 2025
Location: August-Bebel-Straße 4
Registration: coming in January 2025

Preparation period

Before the start of the 3-day working period, we will be offering preparatory workshops on March 24 and 25 in which we will give you introductions to digital tools to help you process the challenges. All offers during this time are optional and can be taken up according to your own interests.

Project work
As part of the event, participants will work in interdisciplinary teams on one of the challenges from March 26 - 28. Seminar rooms will be available for the groups from 10 am to 6 pm during the event. There we offer you:

• Work places for the groups,
• Support from mentors with technical or methodological questions,
• small refreshments and snacks.

The groups are not limited to this period for working on the challenges and can organize their work on the project independently. There are only a few agenda items for which attendance is mandatory. These will be announced before the start of the event.

We have already secured partners from the University of Jena, the Thuringian University and State Library and the Jena City Administration for the event.

However, we would also like to give researchers the opportunity to contribute their data and challenges to the Datathon, which they would like to work on together with the participants. We are therefore currently looking for researchers who would like to take part in the Datathon with their own challenge.

The challenges can range from conceptual questions on data collection and organization to more complex data analyses or possibilities for the visual preparation of data (see “The Challenges”).

Interested researchers can send us suggestions for a challenge by e-mail: dataliteracy@uni-jena.de
Deadline is the 31 January 2025.
