All times are in Central European Time (CET).

Please note: Registration opens 30 minutes before each Workshop.

IDCC25 Workshop Summaries

Workshop 1 - Embedding sensitive data management best practice in institutional workflows, University of Bristol 

Adapting sensitive data management training and best practice to specific institutional contexts. This full day workshop will cover design of consent forms, data management plans, and data sharing strategies, and how to embed this within the context of individual institutional workflows and policy frameworks. 

Workshop 2 - Open Science in Action: Building Skills, Crafting FAIR Resources, and Recognizing Achievement, Skills4EOSC 

The workshop aims to equip participants with essential skills for effectively training Open Science topics. Through interactive sessions, participants will gain practical knowledge on applying Minimum Viable Skillsets, creating FAIR-by-design learning materials, and utilising a recognition framework for Open Science competencies. In addition, the workshop will highlight existing Skills4EOSC learning resources and include hands-on activities to reinforce key concepts. 

Workshop 3 - Building a CoreTrustSeal community, DANS & FAIR-IMPACT

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the topic of community building around CoreTrustSeal. The targeted audience is therefore anyone interested in this topic, regardless of background or organisation type. Building a community around shared topics of interest or importance can help foster exchange of knowledge, support, and resources. For repositories in shared contexts (e.g., institutional, or specific to a particular domain), building a community around CoreTrustSeal can give insight into shared bottlenecks or struggles, foster the exchange of solutions or resources, and create the space for collective reflection on the topic of transparency in general. Ultimately, this can lower the burden of the certification process and thus potentially increase the number of repositories that are certified or working towards increased trustworthiness. Uniting repositories into networks like this with shared community practices and standards is also a step towards the general desire for stronger international collaboration and networking of Trustworthy Digital Repositories. 
 

Workshop 4 - Supporting communities in implementing FAIR principles for Open Science, FAIR-IMPACT

FAIR-IMPACT project is supporting the implementation of FAIR-enabling practices, tools and services across scientific communities at a European, national and institutional level (national level initiatives, repositories and data service providers, research performing organisations, data managers). This workshop will be focused on general guidance for various stakeholder groups to engage in the adoption of relevant workflows to enable FAIR research, the reliable tracing of research outputs and impact. FAIR metrics, Persistent Identifiers, Metadata and Semantic, Data Interoperability are topics that will be discussed.

Workshop 5 - Creating communities around best practices and common challenges in data – the role of data stewards, Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI)

Effective management and curation of data is becoming increasingly important as researchers are required to make DMPs, share and preserve their data, and as techniques such as machine learning make the interoperability and reuse of data ever more vital. The Physical Data Science Infrastructure project is building technologies to help scientists to manage, process and share their data, but we are also aware of the importance of other roles in these processes. Data stewards are vital to help researchers to understand how to manage and curate their data effectively throughout the data life cycle so that it is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reproducible. We know that data stewardship is a relatively new role for many and is often taken on in addition to other responsibilities. There are differing amounts of experience across the community: many in the role are learning these skills for the first time and are often on their own or within very small teams within an institution and may struggle to find colleagues to talk to about where to start and best practices. In this workshop we are seeking to provide opportunities for data stewards to come together to share their challenges, best practices and solutions, and to discuss how PSDI might be able to help provide skills and guidance for data stewards working with scientists in the scientific community. 

Workshop 6 - Future-Proofing Data Management: Interactive Workshop on DMPonline's Progress and Path Forward, DMPonline 

This workshop centres around the significant strides made by DMPonline in enhancing interoperability and implementing machine-actionable features that adhere to FAIR data principles. It showcases these advancements, gains community feedback, and plots future development paths for further integrations and enhancements.
