Auch wenn dies u.a. im Sinne der Nachnutzbarkeit vorhandener Forschungsergebnisse eine sehr begrüßenswerte Entwicklung darstellt\, so bringt sie dennoch auch technische und organisatorische Herausforderungen für Forschungsdatenmanager*innen mit sich. Hierzu zählt ein Mehr an erforderlichen Ressourcen in allen Phasen des Forschungsdatenlebenszyklus\, sowohl in technischer\, wie in personeller Hinsicht; auch können juristische und ethische Herausforderungen entstehen oder schlicht und einfach der Überblick verlorengehen.Vor diesem Hintergrund hat der Arbeitskreis Forschungsdatenmanagement in Baden-Württemberg (AK FDM) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Landesinitiative für Forschungsdaten bwFDM einen Leitfaden veröffentlicht\, der praktische Ansätze liefert\, wie durch digitale Datensparsamkeit notwendige technische und organisatorische Ressourcen reduziert werden können. In dieser Veranstaltung werden Dr. Sophie Habinger und Maximilian Heber (Landesinitiative bwFDM) zunächst die Hintergründe und Kernelemente des Leitfadens vorstellen. Anschließend freuen wir uns auf Ihre Fragen und laden zu einer Diskussion rund um das Thema Digitale Datensparsamkeit ein.

These crises have far-reaching humanitarian impacts\, disrupting lives and livelihoods worldwide and necessitating coordinated\, timely interventions across local\, national\, regional\, and global levels. In response\, UNESCO has partnered with the Committee on Data (CODATA) of the International Science Council (ISC) to explore how the principles of open science\, as articulated in the 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science\, can inform the development of effective policies for data collection\, analysis\, and sharing during crises. This initiative aligns with existing international frameworks and policies\, emphasizing the role of open science in fostering resilient and informed responses. As part of this effort\, the UNESCO-CODATA Data Policies for Times of Crisis Facilitated by Open Science (DPTC) project has produced practical resources\, including a factsheet\, a guidance document\, and a checklist. These tools\, integrated into the UNESCO Open Science Toolkit\, are designed to facilitate the implementation of the UNESCO Open Science Recommendation and empower stakeholders to adopt robust data practices for crisis management. This webinar will present key findings from UNESCO’s global consultation on crisis data policies and showcase the resources developed to support open\, transparent\, and reliable data governance in times of crisis.

The conference will provide an opportunity to present participants’ own work\, exchange experiences\, learn about secondary data analysis\, and understand how to safely share data. The course will demonstrate how existing data can be accessed and will showcase procedures for combining and visualising data from different sources. \n\n\n\nBoth events are free of charge. Additionally\, travel and accommodation costs may be reimbursed up to an amount of 700 EUR per person (see eligibility criteria below). \n\n\n\nApplication process\n\n\nPlease apply for the events using the following Application form. Applications will remain open until 25th October 2024.  \n\n\n\nConference overview\n\n\nThe main objective of the conference is to showcase existing efforts in secondary data analysis for research and policy development\, and to discuss the benefits and challenges of data-sharing practices in the field of child and youth wellbeing. Selected project results aimed at facilitating access to existing data\, such as the Child Wellbeing Variable Database\, Harmonisation Toolbox\, Catalogue of Research Data on Child Wellbeing\, and Data Sharing Guidelines for researchers\, will be presented. \n\n\n\nThe conference will feature oral presentations and panel discussions covering the following topics: \n\n\n\nSecondary data analysis for research or policy development\nResearch datasets with potential for secondary use\nData sharing infrastructures.\n\n\n\n\nStatistical course overview\n\n\nThe one-day\, hands-on statistical course will equip participants with essential skills for accessing\, combining\, comparing\, and visualising data from different sources. These skills are especially useful in the context of informing public policies related to child and youth wellbeing. Participants will learn practical techniques for obtaining secondary datasets efficiently. The Microsoft Power Query tool\, along with Excel\, will be used for transforming and merging data from various sources. Creating and publicly sharing data visualisations will be demonstrated using Tableau Public. \n\n\n\nEligibility and selection criteria for cost reimbursements\n\n\n\nTo be eligible for cost reimbursement\, applicants must meet the following criteria: \n\n\n\nTheir interests must align with the aims of the COORDINATE project\, particularly in child and youth wellbeing.\nThey must have a contract or affiliation with a recognised academic or public institution\, or a not-for-profit organisation based in an EU member state or an associated country.\nApplicants from outside the EU or associated countries can apply to attend but are not eligible for financial support.\nPhD students are eligible to apply; however\, master’s or bachelor’s students are not.\n\n\n\nPriority in funding will be given to applicants: \n\nWho apply for both the conference and the course\, as well as those who submit a proposal for an oral presentation (although attending only the conference is not disqualifying\, as more seats are available for the conference than for the course).\nWho have not previously received support from any COORDINATE project activities.\nFrom countries with less developed research data infrastructures for the social sciences\, especially in Southeast Europe\, and those affiliated with or partnering with CESSDA.\nGender balance will be considered during the selection process.\n\n\n\n\nResearchers from COORDINATE partner institutions who are not directly involved in the project are eligible to apply. However\, as the project’s objective is to widen the network of researchers using child wellbeing data\, a limited number of places will be awarded to applicants from partner institutions. \n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\nThe events are organised by CROSSDA –  the Croatian Social Science Data Archive. \n\n\nIf you have questions about the events\, please write at data.archive@ffzg.hr.

Applicants can apply to join the following support actions.\n  \n\n\n\n #1: Managing data types\, schemas and vocabularies and crosswalks for FAIR researcher related metadata \nThe support action will introduce successful applicants to three tools developed by the FAIRCORE4EOSC (FC4E) project. These include the Data Type Registry (DTR)\, vocabulary service\, and Metadata Schema and Crosswalk Registry (MSCR).  \nIn this support action the participants will use one or more of the FC4E tools to enhance the machine-actionability of their existing schema and crosswalk specifications. This could mean for example the registration of schema from public APIs to the MSCR and creation of mappings from those service specific data models to common formats such as Datacite and DCAT or creating a metadata schema using enriched schema elements registered in the DTR. \nSuccessful applicants will receive 5000 € to support their participation.  \nLearn more and apply \n  \n\n\n\n#2: Creating EOSC compliant interoperability policies based on EOSC Interoperability Framework (IF) \nOne of the main concerns when we deploy a service\, especially those related to data\, is how this service can work with others. This is relevant for services to be integrated in the EOSC ecosystem. The creation of the EOSC IF is an effort to analyse the gaps and problems addressed in this context. Also\, it provides recommendations to improve this integration. One of the main challenges is to translate these recommendations into specific actions. This question is addressed in the work being done by FAIR IMPACT in the context of the production of interoperability guidelines. \nIn this support action\, successful applicants will analyse the interoperability status of their services using tools such as the Compliance Assessment Tool (CAT). After this analysis\, we will identify actions that they can carry out to improve the interoperability of their services based on the guidelines provided. \nSuccessful applicants will receive 5000 € to support their participation.  \nLearn more and apply \n  \n\n#3: Testing the trustworthy and FAIR-enabling repositories prototype\nFAIR-enabling and trustworthy data repositories play a central role in making and keeping data FAIR over time. While there is ongoing debate on what constitutes trustworthiness\, there is broad agreement that transparency and evidence is essential to enable end users to make informed decisions about the repository services they use. In this support action successful applicants will have the opportunity to test a prototype developed by FAIR-IMPACT to expose relevant metadata at the organisational and object level. \nSuccessful applicants will receive 5000 € to support their participation.  \nLearn more and apply \n  \n\n#4: Implementation of a shared API for semantic catalogues \nA lot of valuable information in the form of ontologies\, vocabularies\, etc. are publicly available and are contained in numerous catalogues. Our aim is to facilitate increasing the FAIRness (Findability\, Accessibility\, Interoperability and Reusability) of these catalogues via the use of a common data model to describe the holdings of the catalogues as well as the adoption of a common Application Programming Interface (API) to query the catalogues. \nWe invite Semantic Artefact Catalogue (SAC) providers to apply to join this support action to implement an API based on the Metadata for Ontology Description and Publication (MOD) ontology to promote interoperability and enhance access to SACs. This API enables a uniform interface to semantic artefacts (SA)\, enabling seamless querying by stakeholders\, regardless of domain. This open call is an opportunity for SACs to participate in a community-driven effort to improve the FAIRness of their resources through the adoption of this API. \nSuccessful applicants will receive 8000 € to support their participation.  \nLearn more and apply \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpen call details\n\n\n\nSupport actions announced via website\n30 September 2024\n\n\nWebinar to showcase the support actions on offer and \nWatch the recording\n09 October 2024 14-15 CEST\n\n\nGrant platform open for applications\n11 October 2024\n\n\nInformal virtual clinic for potential applicants to ask questions about the support actions and application process \nAttend the Webinar\n13 November  2024\, 14-15 CET\n\n\nDeadline for applications to join support actions\n4 December 2024\n\n\nEvaluation and selection of applicants\nend of December 2024\n\n\nApplicants informed of decision\n8 January 2025\n\n\nExpected start date for support actions\nmid to late January 2025 (see each support action for specific dates)\n\n\n\n  \nDo you have questions?

It is therefore important to understand and monitor the degree of openness of not only scientific articles or data but also across all the pillars of open science and across all the stages of the scientific cycle. A combination of open qualitative and quantitative assessments\, as well as innovations in the understanding of and response to change\, will be needed for a monitoring system for open science that itself adheres to the values and principles of open science.

Call description and supported activities\n\nThis open call seeks applications from individuals and legal entities that are eligible for Horizon Europe funding who wish to receive financial support to enhance the activities or the adoption of the results of the RDA Working Groups (WGs). This call invites the following types of applications: \n\n\n\nRDA WGs for projects that support the WG plan of action (at any stage of the WG lifecycle)\,  adoption or testing of the WG outputs. The grant funds can be used to cover the personnel and travel costs of the Group’s existing members\, stipends or salaries of new team members\, conference and open access fees and fees of external experts (e.g.\, to solve specific legal\, IPR or standardisation-related questions). See the section “Eligibility Criteria” for more details.\nOrganisations that wish to adopt an RDA output. Specifically\, the grant funds can be used to support the adoption\, testing\, harmonisation\, and/or implementation of RDA Recommendations or Outputs2.\nTechnical  Implementation\, prototyping and proof-of-concept using RDA recommendations to achieve interoperability of open science solutions\, especially in the EOSC context.\nRDA WGs launching a formal standardisation process to have the WG recommendations adopted or used as input by an established technical standards organisation.\n\n\n\nApplications are received up until 30 November 2024 (AoE)3. The selected projects are expected to be launched in early 2025 and need to be concluded by the end of October 2025. \n\n2. How is this call different from the Open Call for RDA TIGER services?\n\nThe RDA TIGER support services (Facilitation\, Communications\, Landscape Analysis\, Output Support) are provided by consortium members\, where the supported WGs receive services provided by the RDA TIGER project staff or experts engaged by the project partners. The Open Call for these types of support services is continuous and is facilitated by a separate process with four selection rounds per year. \n\n\nThis open call for cascading grants is intended to give the recipients more flexibility and a wider range of options in supporting the work of the WG\, including facilitating the adoption of WG outputs. Depending on the stage of your WG\, you can consider applying for various activities through the open call as described in section 1. \n\n\nImportant things to note:  \n\n\n\nProject(s) funded by this Open Call will need to be completed by the end of October 2025.\nThe standardisation-related grants are expected to present a roadmap that shows how the standardisation process can be completed after the completion of the activities funded by the grant.\n\n\n3. About RDA TIGER\n\nRDA TIGER is a project funded by the European Commission (GA 101094406). It supports RDA Working Groups that concretely align\, harmonise\, and standardise Open Science developments and technologies globally. The services it provides will facilitate and support coherent and consistent working group definitions and increase the impact of the key European initiatives on the global level.
