Focus Topics
Digital skills in research range from basic skills in the use of digital tools and platforms to advanced knowledge in specific areas. These skills are needed more than ever, especially in future-oriented areas such as
→ Open science: knowledge of open access publishing, sharing research data,, the use of open source software and collaboration in research. This also includes strategies for improving the transparency and reproducibility of scientific workflows.
→ Data literacy: Skills for collecting, storing, analyzing, interpreting and presenting data. This includes the creation of data management plans and preregistrations as well as data visualization and the application of statistical methods.
→ Coding competence / research software engineering: Knowledge of the use of software and, if necessary, programming, which is necessary for the implementation and automation of data collection, processing and analysis. This also includes the application of computer-aided methods and technologies to solve complex scientific problems.
Imparting this knowledge and skills in university teaching helps to ensure high-quality research and make it sustainable. We are therefore organizing a retreat for multipliers who would like to integrate these extremely important topics into their teaching and supervision.

Event Format & Methods
The TTT retreat is is conceptualized as a one-day unconference: the participants share their own teaching ideas, receive targeted feedback, and learn from the proven didactic concepts of others.
During the morning session, participants will exchange ideas and insights on Open Science, data literacy, and coding competence in higher education. In the afternoon, they will have the freedom to work on self-selected projects to apply these concepts to their own research and teaching.
To plan the morning unconference sessions for the retreat, we will hold a 1-hour online kickoff meeting two weeks prior to the on-site event.
Schedule:

| October 19 13:00-14:00 | Kick-Off | Online meeting to discuss the course of the TTT and the necessary preparation for the TTT |
