Open hour SSH: live Q&A

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.

How do researchers decide whether an existing dataset is suitable for reuse? And what would make it easier for researchers and data stewards to share data in a way that supports future reuse? We would love to hear from you.

An important historical source on Dutch society is now sustainably available through DANS. The digitised publications from the Dutch population censuses covering the period 1795–1971, first published on CD-ROM in 1999, have been made available in the DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities. This ensures that this early digital publication remains accessible for research and reuse, even though the original CD-ROMs and associated software have become obsolete.

The Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) has published a new three-page brief explaining how it applies the TRUST principles across its organisation and network of Service Providers. The publication offers insight into the policies and practices that underpin trustworthy research data services.
