Meet us at the Open Hour every Monday from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) community.
The Open Hour is a Q&A on Open Science, data storage and Research Data Management.

  • What data can I deposit at DANS?
  • How do I make my data FAIR?
  • Can I share data that holds personal information?
  • What meta data standards do I have to use?
  • How do I store video data sustainably?

All these questions and more can be asked live during the Open Hour.

 

News

A new version of the ODISSEI Portal, the place to find social science datasets in the Netherlands, was launched this week, in which important steps have been made in terms of metadata.

The DANS Open Day, held on 14 November 2024, was a great success, bringing together researchers, data professionals, and policymakers to share insights and discuss the evolving landscape of open science and research data management. Hosted at the DANS office in The Hague, the event highlighted the organisation’s role in advancing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data practices.

The European Language Social Science Thesaurus (ELSST) is a broad-based, multilingual thesaurus for the social sciences. The latest version of the ELSST was released in September 2024. Discover some of the key changes here.
