Open hour SSH: live Q&A

Meet us at the Open Hour every Monday from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) community.
The Open Hour is a Q&A on Open Science, data storage and Research Data Management.

  • What data can I deposit at DANS?
  • How do I make my data FAIR?
  • Can I share data that holds personal information?
  • What meta data standards do I have to use?
  • How do I store video data sustainably?

All these questions and more can be asked live during the Open Hour.
