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.

We are happy to present a new updated version of the ODISSEI Portal. In this new version of the Portal we implemented a first prototype of the so-called Data Access Broker (DAB). In addition, more information is available, for instance through ELSST, to improve the search results. The ODISSEI team also worked on a Dutch translation of the user interface. With this new version we introduce an even more user-friendly Portal for the social sciences community. We are happy to explore the different new features and what they mean to you as a user.

Do you manage datasets that require access restrictions? Who would be allowed to access these data? Under what conditions do you grant access? ODISSEI and DANS have designed a survey that aims to find out more about common practices in selecting and managing data access restrictions, and their underlying motivations. We would really appreciate your input!
