On demand trainings

We visit your group or department to discuss your topics of interest. Workshops could, for example, cover topics such as Open Access, DORA, research data management or literature management. We also offer individual introductions to the library for everybody who is coming new to the research institutes - or just wants to brush up their library knowledge.
