Deborah Thorpe and Michelle van den Berk, Research Data Management Specialists at DANS, will be hosting a 2 hour workshop on ‘Teaching FAIR RDM with the PATTERN training materials – a train-the-trainer workshop’. This session has been co-organised with Loek Brinkman and René van Horik, also from DANS. Leading a consortium of research institutes from across Europe, DANS is creating a set of training materials on the topic of ‘FAIR Research Data Management (RDM)’. In this workshop DANS will showcase the training materials, provide an instruction and invitation to adapt and reuse them for personal purposes, and seek active feedback to further improve the materials.
The second workshop, also hosted by Deborah, will be co-organised with Beth Knazook from the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) on ’Working with Legacy Data’. This workshop will explore how the Legacy Data scheme is contributing to new ideas around rewards and incentives for researchers who engage in data sharing, in particular inspecting the notion of ‘data champions’ more closely. It encourages participants to bring their own perspectives on encouraging and supporting researchers to curate and share ‘legacy data’, and how it might promote data sharing in their future career.
The full programme of the interactive sessions and workshops can be found on the website of National Open Science Festival.
