The Winter School aimed on Early-Career-Researcher (ECR´s) with a background in biodiversity and environmental science and took place in December 2022. It was a collaborative event between the Ecological Society (GfÖ) and the consortium NFDI4Biodiversity within the National Research Data Infrastructure Germany (NFDI). Various experts from the partner network (universities, data centers and research institutions) shared their widespread knowledge and trained participants in the fundamentals of Research Data Management (RDM) as well as cutting-edge technologies in handling environmental and biodiversity data across the Data Life Cycle (DLC). This is a collection of presentations from this Winter School 2022.
DMPs as part of local organisation, for FAIRness and policy complianceThe first step in the data life cycle involves planning. A data management plan (DMP) is a document that facilitates this. As formal documents, DMPs favor local organizations and guarantee FAIRness and policy compliance.

Workshop zu Forschungsdatenmanagement für die BMBF-Forschungsinitiative zum Erhalt der Artenvielfalt (FEdA)Researchers face the challenge of carrying out their work responsibly and transparently. If social science data is collected or processed for subsequent use, special precautions must be taken, e.g. to protect personal references in data and to embed data in its context of origin, to document it and thus make it comprehensible and interpretable.
In the workshop, we will provide an overview of the special features associated with the management and data sharing of social science data. We will focus in particular on data protection, the contextualisation/documentation of data sets and the secure storage and publication of data.
The workshop was offered by KonsortSWD (https://www.konsortswd.de/) for NFDI4Biodiversity (https://www.nfdi4biodiversity.org/de/) and the BMBF Research Initiative on Biodiversity Conservation (https://www.feda.bio/de/) and consists of presentations and exercises. In addition
participants were also given further information.

Data Management and Data LiteracyThis presentation at the NFDI4Biodiversity & GfÖ Winter School 2022 focused on the fundamentals of Data Management and Data Literacy in the context of biodiversity research. Attendees gained insights into best practices for data collection, storage, sharing, and preservation. Further, the presentation emphasized the vital roles of NFDI4Biodiversity and GFBio services in fostering data-driven research, supporting data curation, and promoting a culture of data literacy within the biodiversity community.
