Webinars

Open Access Week 2016 webinar on “H2020 Open Access mandate for project coordinators and researchers” - Open Access to publications in Horizon 2020, with Eloy Rodrigues and Pedro Principe (University of Minho). 

Open Access Week 2016 webinar on "The fundamentals of Open Science" - key introductory themes in Open Science, with Tony Ross-Hellauer (OpenAIRE, University of Goettingen), Paola Masuzzo (Ghent University) and Chris Hartgerink (Tilburg University).

During this EUDAT & OpenAIRE joint webinar, Sarah Jones (DCC) and Marjan Grootveld (DANS) talked through the aspects that Horizon 2020 requires from a DMP, discussing examples from real DMPs and also touching upon the Software Management Plan, which for some projects can be a sensible addition

This OpenAIRE Webinar provides an introduction to Research Data Management and is aimed at researcher involved in the EC's Open Research Data Pilot. Managing research data is becoming increasingly important. How can you manage your data and how can you benefit from managing your data effectively? In this webinar te basic concepts of research data management (RDM) are presented as well as tools to help writing a Data Management Plan (DMP).

- Understand the basic principles and importance of RDM

- Set clear goals regarding data curation, preservation and sharing

- Comply with the requirements of the Research Data Pilot

- Draft a Data Management Plan

- Identify RDM resources and tools

Target audience: Introductory training for researchers, project coordinators and research administrators

OpenAIRE/EUDAT introductory Webinar on Research Data Management: Aims to introduce researchers and others to the concept of research data management (RDM). As well as presenting the benefits of taking an active approach to research data management – including increased speed and ease of access, efficiency (fund once, reuse many times), and improved quality and transparency of research – the webinar advises on strategies for successful RDM, resources to help manage data effectively, choosing where to store and deposit data, the EC H2020 Open Data Pilot and the basics of data management, stewardship and archiving.

Webinar scope and aims: Whether measurements from sensors, results from simulations or interview recordings, modern scholarship generates incredible amounts of digital information which, properly kept and shared, holds the potential to drive new research and innovation. Recognising this, funders are implementing policies for RDM and data sharing, such as the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot, which aims to improve and maximise access to the research data generated by EU-funded projects. But good data management skills are useful far beyond complying with funder commitments: well-managed data foster good scientific practice and sharing well-formed, well-described data increases research impact.

On 26 May 2016, OpenAIRE and EUDAT co-presenteded this webinar which aims to introduce researchers and others to the concept of research data management (RDM). As well as presenting the benefits of taking an active approach to research data management – including increased speed and ease of access, efficiency (fund once, reuse many times), and improved quality and transparency of research – the webinar advises on strategies for successful RDM, resources to help manage data effectively, choosing where to store and deposit data, the EC H2020 Open Data Pilot and the basics of data management, stewardship and archiving.

Learning objectives: At the end of the Webinar participants will be able to:

• Articulate the importance of research data management;
• Set clear goals regarding data archiving and sharing (both during and after a project)
• Understand the basic principles of data management, stewardship and archiving
• Identify appropriate RDM tools and services

Target audience: Introductory training for researchers, project coordinators and research administrators
