QUADRIGA Data Competence Center

We lay the groundwork for PhD candidates and postdocs to develop skills needed to handle data confidently in their day-to-day research: Interactive Jupyter Books allow users to engage with the content at their own pace. These can be found and selected using search and filter criteria via the QUADRIGA Navigator.

The QUADRIGA case studies are freely accessible for learning and teaching, can be used both locally and server-based, and are transferable and adaptable. The Creative Commons licenses assigned generally allow for free use and, in some cases, permission for adaptation and redistribution.

All materials were developed to address selected skills and competencies from the QUADRIGA Data Literacy Framework, which maps all relevant aspects of data literacy based on the data flow. From planning data-driven research through data management to the publication of datasets in accordance with the FAIR principles, the case studies combine learning modules for typical problem scenarios.

Through various blended-learning formats for competency development - such as workshops, Data Talks, and hackathons - the Data Competency Center is establishing itself as a hub for research, learning, and networking.

Potsdam Graduate School coordinates and administers the consortium of eight partners:

• Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF
• Fraunhofer FOKUS (Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems)
• Freie Universität Berlin
• German Informatics Society
• Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
• Technische Universität Berlin
• University of Applied Science Potsdam
• University of Potsdam

In addition to managing the consortium, Potsdam Graduate School is particularly involved in disseminating and communicating materials to our target groups, testing these materials, engaging in broader science communication, and ensuring the center’s long-term sustainability.
