Securely store and publish research data with DICE services

  • By Serenella Muradore Gallas

The objective of this webinar is to showcase three DICE services available for different scientific communities. During the webinar, the service providers will present solutions for storing and publishing research data.  We will give an overview of each service and briefly explain how to gain access to the service at no cost until June 2023. The service providers will also provide an outlook on continuity of their respective services beyond after the DICE project ends.

The webinar is free and open to all, but researchers and research organisations are highly encouraged to attend, particularly those looking for services that can enable storing and publishing their research data. Research community managers and repository managers in academic or research institutions may also find the session informative.

Join the FAIRsFAIR event "Monitoring EOSC readiness: FAIR data policies" on 17 February 2022

  • By Rita Meneses

The ambition of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is to provide a  ‘multi-disciplinary environment where researchers can publish, find and re-use data, tools and services, enabling them to better conduct their work’. The realisation of the EOSC vision depends upon the availability of FAIR data (i.e., those data that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) defines the general framework for future research, development and innovation activities in relation to the EOSC and identified the availability of standardised national Open Science and FAIR data strategies, including the description of these policies, as a key priority to enable the continuous monitoring of the landscape with regards to EOSC readiness. 

This workshop will share recent work undertaken by the EOSC Association to monitor additional activities and define key performance indicators relating to FAIR data policies; share the key aims of a survey on...

Science Mesh Workshop "Global Platform for Scientific Collaboration"

  • By Jacopo Mariani

The main goal of the Science Mesh Workshop "Global Platform for Scientific Collaboration", co-located at the CS3 2022 Congress, is to dialogue with early adopters and potential vendors that will contribute to the final development, deployment and adoption of the Science Mesh. The Science Mesh is a global collaboration service for researchers, educators, data curators and analysts based on OCM (Open Cloud Mesh) and CS3APIs (Connect Storage and Application Providers). It provides an interoperable platform to easily share & deploy application and software components, while providing rich collaborative workflows.

The day will also bring out insights around what are the needs of ESFRI European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures clusters and their related infrastructures in terms of data synch and share. The ESFRI clusters, from a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, have strong links with research communities, manage significant data volumes, and develop/operate discipline-specific data analytics tools, while facilitation...

DICE-EOSC-Pillar Webinar: FAIR Data Management Gaps and Solutions

  • By Federico Drago

In 2021, EOSC-Pillar project ran the “National Initiatives” survey which provided a snapshot of the state of national initiatives on open data and services in the five EOSC-Pillar countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy).

An entire section of the survey was dedicated to assess the needs and difficulties researchers face when re-using data, in particular what hinders and what facilitates the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (FAIR) of data from a researcher’s perspective. The survey is continuing towards a broader discussion with all researchers and their teams to collect their opinions and provide recommendations to EOSC and its service providers. 

At the same time, the DICE project (link) started aiming to provide to all EOSC researchers and communities data management services for making their data FAIR and fill some of the gaps identified in the survey. The services are designed to be used across all domains and thus, are potentially useful to all research communities in Europe.

  • Want to know the outcomes of the survey?
  • Would you like to bring new findings and recommendations for the implementation of EOSC?
  • Have you had experience in making your data FAIR and do you want to share the difficulties you have encountered? 
  • Are you looking for services to support you in making your data FAIR?

Then join EOSC-Pillar and DICE for this webinar. Register now!

FAIRsFAIR FInal Event and Public Session - January 26: the very last stop of an extremely exciting journey started in 2019

  • By Rita Meneses

Between January 25th and 27th, FAIRsFAIR partners and stakeholders will meet for a series of concluding meetings to deep-dive into the results of FAIRsFAIR. We’ll analyse the impact that we managed to have on the European Research Community. We'll go once more through the tools, guidelines and best practices that we have produced and delivered to researchers, data stewards, decision makers and funders towards a better, more structured approach towards FAIR data management. We’ll take the recommendations we produced and the lessons we learnt and leave them as a legacy for future activities to come.

The core of these three days will be the FAIRsFAIR Final Event on Wednesday 26th of January!

Forget about power-points and online surveys: grab an armchair and a coffee, make yourself comfortable and join us! We promise you...

EOSC-Pillar Second Annual Report available on Zenodo

  • By Federico Drago

In Year 2 of EOSC-Pillar, we have built on the solid foundations laid last year, strengthening interaction and collaboration on Open Science in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, as well as with other European regions and beyond.

The Second Annual Report of the project was published on our Zenodo Community, also featuring an introduction by EOSC Association Director Marialuisa Lavitrano, University of Milano-Bicocca:

To succeed, EOSC and Open Science in general must be both coordinated and widespread, one without the other won’t be enough. That’s why I look at regional coordination projects like EOSC-Pillar as key initiatives to really turn the EOSC in reality.

Read about the main updates from the second year of EOSC-Pillar, interviews, use cases descriptions, in-depth articles!

SSHOC Dataverse Translation follow-up event

  • By Serenella Muradore Gallas

Dataverse is a repository software developed by the Institute for Quantitative Social Science of Harvard University to enable researchers to archive and publish research data. It's supported by an active Dataverse Development Community with contributors around the world.

Currently, the User Interface (UI) is in English. Task 5.2 of the SSHOC project integrated the Weblate tool into the installation pipeline of Dataverse to translate the UI more easily. This procedure can be used by organisations who are interested to have a UI in their national language(s). On June 2nd and September 8th, workshops took place to explain the ins and outs of the tool, and participants shared their very first translation experiences in Weblate.

The next follow-up meeting will give the participants further opportunity to exchange translating experiences. Topics can include translating issues, the Weblate software, the content of the User Guide and future collaboration.

FAIR SSH Data citation: a practical guide

  • By Athina Papadopoulou

Data citation in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) can be a rather complicated task, in particular when it comes to making it machine actionable. The incompleteness of existing citation methods and complexity of the technical landscape only add to the challenge.

To address this problem, after doing an inventory of citation practices (See https://zenodo.org/record/4436736) SSHOC project T3.4 set out to create recommendations (see https://zenodo.org/record/5361718) and software to:

  • Make SSH data-sets citable;
  • Visualise and exploit citations;
  • And provide facilities for curation and semantic annotation of these resources.

This webinar will focus on practical aspects of SSH citation based on these recommendations, more specifically:

  • The value/necessity of data citation;
  • “FAIR SSH Citation prototype” and other existing tools;
  • Practical advice on how to cite SSH data; 
  • And a
