The second video of the DANS Data Stories series can now be found online. In this series, we ask those involved about their answers and experiences with regard to sharing and reusing research data.

On September 10, 2020, DANS, together with the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) and the Library of Leiden University (UL), organized an online event on the exchange of data in the field of research information. With over 70 participants, the workshop was a success.

DANS invites users of NARCIS to share their experience with this service.

In a short video, Emilie Kraaikamp (DANS, Advisor for legal affairs) talks about the practical aspects of sharing personal research data. The video also discusses archiving research data at DANS and sharing this data.

A change is urgently needed in the way universities recognise and reward their academic staff. Research achievements have long determined academics’ career paths, and this dominance is becoming increasingly at odds with reality.

DANS is working on an online self-assessment tool for users to teach them about FAIR data usage and to increase general awareness.

This fall, Research Data Netherlands (RDNL), Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and the University of Edinburgh organize the online course ‘Delivering Research Data Management Services’ for the third time. The MOOC starts on October 5th.

The autumn course Essentials 4 Data Support is an introductory course for those who (want to) support researchers in storing, managing, archiving and sharing their research data.
