Training Team

At DANS we aim to deliver high-quality training content in a responsible and engaging manner. DANS Training is thus characterised by some commitments that we, as the Training Team, have made. We further prioritise engagement by ensuring that all our training materials follow current best practice for accessibility. DANS Training has also made a commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, so we are continually working to deliver the greenest events possible through conscious decisions about catering, travel, storage of materials, and bandwidth.
We are happy to discuss your training needs. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss a workshop or course.

Training Materials

You can find our materials on Zenodo in our DANS training community, as well as on our Moodle (under development).

DANS has co-developed a wide range of training through its involvement in consortia projects. A few of the modules that DANS helped to create that relate to our training interests are: Data Stewardship Training (EOSC Synergy), Developing quality training (online, EOSC Synergy), Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud training (SSHOC), FAIRsFAIR training library (FAIRsFAIR).

We are currently working on a number of projects that will be delivering training and training materials in the near future. Please keep an eye on the following projects: EOSC FutureFAIRCore4EOSCPATTERNFAIR-ImpactBY-COVIDDICE.

Collaborations

We regularly offer training together with our partners in Open and Responsible Research Training. Our network includes Research Data Netherlands (RDNL), the Nationaal Programma Open Science (NPOS), Landelijk Coördinatiepunt Research Data Management, the Data Stewards Interest Group (DSIG), the Netherlands Open Science Communities, and Research Software Training Netherlands (RSTNL). Partner organisations include the eScience Centre, 4TU, SURF, and the Thematic Digital Competence Centres.

DANS is also an active member of a number of European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs) such as the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA), Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) and the European Holocaust Research Initiative (EHRI). DANS is also the national Open Access desk (NOAD) coordinator for OpenAIRE.

News

In May, DANS co-organized the ‘BY-COVID Workshop on the integration of socioeconomic data in observational studies on vaccine effectiveness’ in The Hague. A joint report by workshop participants and other experts has now been published, describing the presentations, discussions during the event, and providing a roadmap for how socioeconomic data can contribute to studies of vaccine effectiveness as well as other infectious disease research moving forward.

In May and June 2023 the University of Pretoria, South Africa held their annual CODATA-RDA School for Research Data Science (SoRDS). This online school, part of the international SoRDS network, focuses on building foundational data science skills amongst early career researchers in low/middle-income countries. The schools are staffed by volunteer instructors and a small number of student helpers to support the learners. These dedicated volunteer helpers play a vital role in the success of the schools. To encourage the student helpers and acknowledge the importance of their work, DANS awarded the most active helper with a ticket to the IASSIST African chapter.

The IFLA Library Services for Multicultural Populations (MCULTP) Satellite event with the theme ‘Empowering Diverse Librarianship’ will present library workers with the tools to build, sustain, and strengthen a diverse and inclusive workplace through a variety of presentations and panel discussions. This Satellite aims to hold a forum for all library workers, to establish mutual understanding through hearing others’ voices.
