The Community of Practice for Training Coordinators (CoP) is an informal network to share training experiences initiated by a group of people who coordinate training programmes of research and e-infrastructures. This initiative of starting a Community of Practice for training coordinators aims to map out the training activities of various pan-European, EOSC-related initiatives and strengthen their training capacity by improved alignment, sharing experiences and good practices, initiating cross-infrastructure training activities.

Background: One of the outcomes of the EUDAT project final conference was to set up several training workshops across Europe. At the EUDAT end conference the team, including OpenAIRE, proposed to continue collaboration, independent of projects, in a bottom up initiative for a Community of Practice for training coordinators. The idea was welcomed at the education and training group of the RDA and OpenAIRE has taken up coordination activities.
