On Thursday 17 October 2024, the Dutch Data Prize was awarded to the three winning datasets of this eighth edition of the prestigious award. Out of 52 nominations, three datasets excelled most in terms of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR).ย 

On 17 October, the Dutch Data Prize 2024 will be awarded during the FAIR-IMPACT National Roadshow in The Hague. From the 52 submitted datasets, the jury has selected the final three candidates in each of the categories; Social Sciences & Humanities, Life Sciences & Health, and Natural & Engineering Sciences. These nine finalists have a chance to win the Dutch Data Prize 2024 and a cash prize of โ‚ฌ3,500, intended to make their dataset even more FAIR.

The Association of Dutch Building archaeologists (Bond van Nederlandse Bouwhistorici) has taken action to permanently archive building archaeological reports and make them accessible. In collaboration with DANS, a manual has been drawn up for depositing data in the Data Station Archaeology. This manual is now in use and has already produced more than 500 reports in a short time.

More and more research data are generated using sensing technologies, such as data from drones, GPS trackers, or sensors on the human body. These sensor data offer new opportunities for research, but also bring their own specific problems and challenges.

It is still possible to nominate your own dataset or a dataset from an individual or research group for the RDNL Dutch Data Prize 2024. The deadline for nominations has been moved to Friday 30 August.

We are pleased to invite the research support community, policymakers, and researchers to our upcoming Open Day on 14 November 2024.ย Join us for an insightful event dedicated to promoting Open Data & Open Science and its principles.

Every two years, the Dutch Data Prize is awarded to an individual or team that makes research data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).It’s now possible to nominate a dataset.

The aim of the project was to prepare for the establishment of a center of competence in the field of preservation and conservation of historical monuments and archeological sites. In December 2023, the 4CH project, which had a duration of three years, was completed. The results are now accessible.
