During four intensive Bootcamp days in June-July at the Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE) in Amersfoort and Amsterdam, nine course participants studied the ins and outs of good data management in heritage studies. Under the guidance of a heritage data coach and a research data coach, the course participants, who come from different organisations, worked on data management plans and personal learning objectives. Speakers from collection management, research and policy provided the Bootcamp with an extra dimension of expertise and experience. The Bootcamp was a first training pilot of the Dutch node of the European Research Infrastructure for the Heritage Sciences (E-RIHS).

DANS and IKOS continue their collaboration in various forms. Andrea Scharnhorst from DANS is appointed as Associate fellow at the Institute for Knowledge Organization and Structure (IKOS). 

After successful earlier editions, a new edition of the DANS Data trail will take place on Thursday, 22 September 2022. This time the topic will be how the EOSC organisation stimulates community based Open Science.

In order to gather voices of the community on RDM practices, the DARIAH working group Research Data Management organized a two-day writing sprint. DANS research data management experts Femmy Admiraal and Francesca Morselli participated in the meeting.



Empowering researchers in the social sciences through digital technology

In this call the ODISSEI (Open Data Infrastructure for Social Science and Economic Innovations) and the Netherlands eScience Center invite scientists to submit a proposal. In order to do this they need to be employed at an ODISSEI member organization, whose main area of expertise is in the social sciences. 

For some time now, there has been a desire to make training materials more FAIR in order to increase the retrievability of existing materials and promote their reusability. Within the Interest Group Education and Training on Handling Research Data (ETHRD) of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), a task force has examined the minimum metadata required when publishing training materials.
