A Training Discovery Toolkit for the Social Sciences and Humanities: OpenScience Conference2021 - February 2021

The Training Discovery Toolkit is an inventory of various learning and training materials that trainers of different disciplines in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) can use to find materials for re-use in their own training activities. The Toolkit links to a variety of materials available through various sources on topics including Open Science, Research Data Management, and didactics, but also specific topics that are relevant to multiple disciplines, like text encoding and spatial data. While it primarily targets trainers, the Toolkit also contains information on other learning and training materials available for the SSH communities. The Toolkit is designed in close collaboration with the SSH Training Community to make available training resources discoverable and encourage re-use and exchange. Thereby the Toolkit helps to make the process of training preparation and delivery more efficient and effective. The toolkit is continuously updated and improved in its content and functionality, based on the feedback from users and the Training Community to best serve the learning and training needs in the SSH domain. We organize dedicated bootcamps to test the Toolkit and collect feedback which will be incorporated in the next version. In this poster, we give an overview of the Training Discovery Toolkit through example use cases. We will demonstrate its current content and the future plans to further develop it as a tool for training discovery in the EOSC. The Toolkit currently contains more than 70 items from 41 different sources on a range of topics for better development and implementation of training activities. The lack of quick availability of relevant training materials is often what prevents SSH trainers from developing relevant training programmes. The Training Discovery Toolkit addresses this gap by providing access to effective and often ready-to-go training programmes. In the long run, we hope the tool will make training on Open Science easy enough for it to advance to all European SSH communities, thus shifting the current research culture towards Open Science. The Toolkit is continuously updated based on the feedback from the SSH Training Community, which is collected at dedicated bootcamps and other relevant events. In 2021 new materials for trainers in the SSH domain on the services offered through EOSC will be created. The tool is also being updated taking into consideration the work of other international initiatives including the EOSC working group on skills and training, as well as the RDA IG Education and training on handling of research data and the EOSC Enhance project. For the final version of the Toolkit we aim to align the collected metadata for the various training resources with metadata models developed within the EOSC and dedicated RDA groups to ensure that the information in the Toolkit is interoperable and can be integrated into other services. We envision the Toolkit to become part of the larger services available for scholars through the European Open Science Cloud

DANS Data Game: Digital or Visual

DANS has developed a game especially for researchers: the DANS Data Game. The game gives an impression of the research data landscape and was specially produced for the 15th anniversary of DANS in 2020. The game is available in .pdf, DANS can send the game via postorder and the game can be played online. Visit dans.knaw.nl for more information

OpenAIRE and FAIR Data Expert Group survey about Horizon 2020 template for Data Management Plans

<p>This dataset is published in 2017 by the OpenAIRE project and the FAIR Data Expert Group.</p> <p>It contains two survey data files, two pdf-files summarising the results in a report and an infographic, and a Readme.txt file.</p> <p>The OpenAIRE project supports the open science ambitions of the European Commission. The project and in particular the Research Data Management team provide support, training and information on the Open Research Data Pilot. In this context, a survey was carried out to collect feedback on the Horizon 2020 template for Data Management Plans (DMPs). The team collaborated with the FAIR data expert group, which is providing recommendations to the European Commission on turning FAIR data into reality. One of the specific tasks of the Expert Group is contributing to an evaluation of the Horizon 2020 approach to DMPs, including future revisions of the template and the development of additional sector/ discipline-specific guidance. The aim of the survey was to collect experiences of researchers and DMP reviewers with the DMP template and guidelines on FAIR data management in Horizon 2020. The survey assesses the usefulness of the guidelines and any aspects that are confusing and unclear to determine what improvements can be made.</p> <p>Feedback was sought from both researchers and research support staff. The survey was initially scheduled to run from 22 May to 21 June 2017. Several organisations were asked to help announce the survey, including OpenAIRE’s National Open Access Desks, the FAIR data expert group, FOSTER, LIBER, and the RDA Interest Group on Active DMPs. When the first survey responses showed only a small share of researchers,  more stakeholders were contacted to specifically target this community. The European Research Area was approached, whose project officers circulated the survey call among award holders of EC projects. Early-career researchers were also informed through the YEAR network and EURODOC. This resulted in an extension of the survey to 21 July 2017.</p> <p>At the close of the survey on 21 July 2017, a total number of 289 responses were reached. 50% of the respondents indicated that they were researchers, and 60% that they were (also) research support staff. OpenAIRE and the FAIR data expert group are very pleased with this balanced outcome and would like to thank all colleagues and organisations who promoted the survey, as well as everyone who took part in it.</p> <p> </p

CESSDA SaW D3.2: Country report on development potentials

The report identifies gaps for further development of data archives services (DAS) in each country by exploring the wider ecosystem of data sharing culture, organisational setting and service operational profile. Where now the research data infrastructure is only emerging, it identifies promising candidate services
