A milestone has been reached in the first year of the BY-COVID project. Over 600 COVID-19-related studies from the social sciences and humanities (SSH), harvested from the CESSDA Data Catalogue (CDC) are added in the COVID-19 Data Portal. Also, BY-COVID had its first General Assembly this month, which highlighted the important role of socioeconomic data for infectious disease research, and for responding to public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

FAIR and Open data RDM Collaborations
Since spring 2021, DANS has been working on the project “Working together with and on data: DIGILAB and FAIR”. This was an assignment of the Dutch hub of the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science (E-RIHS) consortium, E-RHIS.nl, which is in formation. This project carried out a landscape inventory and needs analysis around data management in Dutch heritage science. All findings from the landscape study were compiled in a report (Dutch) that was presented to the E-RIHS.nl working group to promote the further establishment of the network.

Archaeology
Collaborations
Determining the age of archaeological remains in the Dutch soil archive is a crucial part of archaeology. Carbon-14 dating (also known as C-14 dating) is the technique used to determine the age of an organic sample. In recent decades, thousands of C-14 dating studies for archaeological research have been carried out and published in the Netherlands, but these are not publicly available. DANS is helping to change this.
