Essentials 4 Data Support, available in Dutch and English, has already trained more than 300 data supporters. Students are often library staff who work as information specialists, but the course has also proved useful for policy advisers and IT specialists. The course is taken by people all over the Netherlands, from abroad, from different institutions and from different research areas.
