Resources for doctoral students
In collaboration with the Scientific IT Services, we offer a series of workshops on research data management designed specifically for doctoral students. The first six sessions focus on the research data lifecycle, with a further two sessions dedicated to handing images in research and the topic of citizen science. These English-language workshops can be booked as a series or individually.
The online information fair ETH Library – Your partner for managing the research life cycle also provides doctoral students with useful information about reference management, scientific output and the analysis of its impact and much more.
