On Thursday 27 May, DANS trainers Maaike Verburg and Cees Hof will make you “FAIR Aware” during the NWO Life2021, a unique annual conference covering all domains within the Dutch life sciences.

Many researchers are still struggling with putting the FAIR data principles in their daily practice. To help them, FAIRsFAIR representatives Joy Davidson (Digital Curation Centre) and Linas Čepinskas (DANS) presented FAIR-Aware at the SSHOC Open Science and Research Data Management Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp.

Through the Platform Digital Infrastructure Social Sciences & Humanities (PDI-SSH), researchers within the SSH domain can apply for funding for their projects focused on digitisation and digital infrastructure.

On April 21, the FAIRsFAIR project organised the first of a series of webinars that aim to support repositories to make the data they manage more FAIR. The webinar, co-organised by DANS, was about persistent identifiers (PIDs) and methods to connect PIDs, the PID Graph.

From 7 to 15 April 2021, both insiders of the FAIRsFAIR project and external stakeholders had the opportunity to immerse themselves in all things FAIR during FAIRsFAIR Week 2021.

The third and final Synchronisation Force workshop series was officially kicked off on April 29th with an opening from Ingrid Dillo, deputy director DANS.

During the 16th edition of the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) on 19 April 2021, attention was drawn to the (un)satisfied user within open research data and the preservation infrastructure. The content of this presentation can be read in the recently published blog post.

During two half days on 14 and 17 June, ODISSEI, CESSDA-ERIC and DANS will organise a workshop on research data management for researchers in the social sciences. Registration is open as of today.
