In March, Bielefeld University will host the second "Woche der Forschungskompetenzen". Organised by the Competence Centre for Research Data (a cooperation between Bielefeld University Library and BITS) and the Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence (IKG), the week from 4 to 8 March is dedicated to skills that are currently given less attention in university curricula. Topics include rights to texts and data, privacy and ethics, and scholarly publishing. The week's lectures, most of which will be held in German, are aimed at all empirical researchers at Bielefeld University, but especially at "young academics".
