EUA-FAIRsFAIR webinar (8. Dezember 2020, 14.00-15.00 CET)

As a main partner in the FAIRsFAIR project, EUA is organising this webinar to share and discuss the FAIRsFAIR policy and service recommendations for research data management at research organisations, as well as institutional good practices and the role of FAIR data within Horizon Europe.

Universities and researchers across Europe are increasingly expected to manage research data according to the FAIR principles, most notably through Horizon Europe. Therefore, research data policies, support services, processes and infrastructure at higher education institutions need to be ready for FAIR data. Bottom-up and top-down measures must converge at the institutional level, making this a challenge of strategic relevance that encompasses different levels and stakeholders within a university.

FAIRsFAIR, a European-level project funded through the European Open Science Cloud initiative, is at the forefront of developing recommendations and guidance documents on how to build and sustain research data management policies and services within research performing organisations.

The webinar will be of interest to leadership or management staff in charge of managing or establishing research data management policies and services, research data management professionals, as well as researchers and others with an interest in research data and Open Science.

EUA & OpenAIRE workshop: University approaches to citizen science in the transition to Open Science (9. - 10. Dezember 2020)

EUA and OpenAIRE will host a joint online workshop on citizen science. Participants will address challenges and opportunities, as well as explore how citizen science can benefit from and add to the transition to Open Science.

The potential of citizen science is high on the agenda in the discussion on the future of academic research. Citizens can contribute in diverse ways, ranging from data collection and analysis to co-designing projects, and thereby bring academic research and its outcomes closer to society. However, citizen science also accentuates ethical and legal questions about ownership of the research process and outcomes. It also poses challenges in terms of safeguarding research quality.

Participants in this joint workshop will discuss themes around institutional support for citizen science. The aim is to exchange experiences, lessons learnt and explore common challenges. The online workshop will also offer an opportunity to discuss tools, guidelines and good practices from Open Science experiences. Participating universities will have the opportunity to share expertise, coordinate efforts and exchange advice on services, tools and legal and ethical issues.

For more information and a full programme please visit the event webpage. The workshop will be of interest to institutional leaders (rectors, vice-rectors and heads of administration), research department staff, as well as representatives of other organisations.

Registrations are open until the start of the workshop. Participation is free of charge.

A recording of the workshop will be available on the EUA YouTube Channel.

Online Workshop: Artificial intelligence, data management and the digital world of doctoral education (21. - 22. Januar 2021)

Nowadays, digitalisation plays an important role in our society as it daily affects our lives. This is also true for the whole research process, including the collection and analysis of data, the interaction between researchers across geographical boundaries or the communication of results. In this context, artificial intelligence and other forms of data-driven research have increasingly been the focus of discussions as they provide new and unexpected opportunities, but also raise questions related to the risks attached to the development of such new technologies.

The 2021 EUA-CDE Thematic Workshop will focus on the role of doctoral education in the context of these rapid technological and conceptual changes, how doctoral schools are influenced and how they can make efficient use of emerging digital technologies. It will discuss the training and skills needs of doctoral candidates and provide a forum for an exchange of reflections and good practices.   

This event will provide an occasion to discuss these issues and identify innovative solutions together with other EUA-CDE members and stakeholders active in this field.

It will be of interest to anyone involved in doctoral education including academic leaders, doctoral education professionals, supervisors and doctoral candidates.

The workshop’s programme is divided into two main parts. It combines two webinars open to anyone with an interest in doctoral education and several online sessions reserved to EUA-CDE members only.
