Cancellation Notice – DataverseNL Event

Location: Domstad, Utrecht
Unfortunately, we have to cancel the DataverseNL event scheduled for Tuesday 10 June. Due to a nationwide train strike in the Netherlands, it will be nearly impossible for participants and speakers to reach the venue. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience and hope to reschedule soon. Stay tuned for updates – and thank you for your understanding.
DataverseNL celebrates its 10th anniversary. We celebrate this with an inspiring event where we look back at a decade of open access together and look ahead to the future.
Through inspiring presentations and workshops, we discuss how we can improve the use of DataverseNL, and how to improve the FAIR curation practices that make use of the service, and how we better integrate it into the overall research data management landscape. There are four workshop of which you can follow one. The workshops will start in the morning and will continue in the afternoon. Read the abstracts of the workshops and presentations.
