Developing a mapping process framework

3:00 PM – 6:00 PM Abroad Training ENG

FAIR-IMPACT runs workshops documenting how the community maps and produces crosswalks between semantic artefacts. This workshop aims to identify standard components in the mapping process, focusing on approaches used from community practices.

ECS Cluster Event

9:00 AM – 12:30 PM Abroad Training ENG

A common thread that runs through almost all citizen science initiatives is their collection and generation of data. With the expanding scope of these initiatives, we are seeing an unprecedented increase in data. This data, when transformed into knowledge, is invaluable not only for deepening our understanding of scientific and social phenomena but also for its crucial role in informing evidence-based policy-making. The transition from raw data to knowledge, however, is dependent on several factors. Key among these is the application of good data practices and the establishment of comprehensive data infrastructures. Moreover, for the citizen science community, embracing the principles of open science, open data and adhering to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) standards and CARE principles are crucial steps, among other strategic approaches, to fully capitalise on citizen-generated data.

Practical licensing issues

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Training CZ

This course is held in the Czech language.

During the talk, we will discuss the different types of licenses, including public licenses such as Creative Commons, open-source software licenses such as the GNU GPL and MIT, and database licensing. We will also discuss practical approaches to licensing, choosing the proper license, and situations in which licensing should be avoided, both from the perspective of the licensor and the licensee.

Data Week 2024

Conference Abroad ENG

Data Week Leipzig is the networking and exchange event for highlighting scientific, economic, and social perspectives of data and its use, where industry, citizens, science, and public authorities can enter into dialogue.

The event welcomes attendees to Leipzig to learn and share experiences about the concepts of data-spaces, urban platforms, and other technical solutions that follow the FAIR principles of ensuring that data remains Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Days dedicated to the topics of semantics and artificial intelligence will give insights into how these technologies can help achieve a sustainable and resilient future.

French Data Management Clusters

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Conference Training ENG

The "FAIR Implementation Workshop - French Data Management Clusters" will take place on 4 April 2024 10:00-12:00 CEST. Confirm your registration below. Note: Registration for the workshop is free but mandatory.

At national level, the French Ministry of Research has developed a platform: Recherche Data Gouv (RDG). It has been designed to support research teams in their work of structuring data to make it easy to find, accessible, interoperable and reusable, in other words, in line with the "FAIR" principles. The workshop will present the French data management clusters who aim to be close to research teams so they can provide researchers with initial expertise in rational research data management.

SPIA 2.0 Community consultation

Abroad ENG

The EOSC Partnership’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) defines the general framework for future research, development, and innovation activities in relation to EOSC, and will serve as the Partnership’s guiding document for the coming four years.

Introduction to Research Data Management

Training ENG

Webinar for anyone who collects and works with data and needs to learn the common data management practice and what a Data Management Plan is.

What opportunities for participation are there?

4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Conference Training

Please note that the webinar will be held in German.

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a pioneering initiative that aims to create an inclusive and open space for the exchange and use of research data in Europe. Three free EOSC Coffee Lectures from the ZBW provide clarity about what the EOSC is and what it is not, present the current status and relevant developments in the context of the EOSC and show how you can get involved in the activities of the EOSC. The EOSC Coffee Lectures invite everyone who deals with research data in their scientific work or is involved in the implementation and operation of research data infrastructures. The Coffee Lectures are given by Prof. Dr. Klaus Tochterman. Prof. Dr. Klaus Tochtermann is, among other things, a member of the Board of Directors of the EOSC Association (EOSC-A) and is also involved in several NFDI consortia and a member of the NFDI Senate.

Contents:

• Significance of German participation in EOSC developments
• Opportunities to participate in the EOSC
• Outlook on relevant activities and events in 2024.
