The CESSDA Webinar by the title "The GDPR and research one year on: experiences across Europe" will take place on Thursday 27 June 2019 - 15:00CEST. The event is organised by two SSHOC collaborating organisations: GESIS, the Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences and NSD, the Norwegian Centre for Research Data, which are also part of the extensive network of the SSHOC's coordinator CESSDA.

This is a joint session (90 minutes) shared with and co-organised by:

• the SSH Open Cloud (SSHOC) project
• the LIBER Digital Humanities and Digital Cultural Heritage Working group
• the LIBER Digital Skills for library staff and researchers \Working group

Aim of the workshop is to present the SSHOC Project, the SSH Open Marketplace and activities towards building expertise for users, and especially libraries, such as the SSHOC Training Network and toolkit. The presentations will be followed and complemented by asking the workshop attendees to provide their input in an interactive session about their needs on skills building and training.

The workshop “Building Open Science in Europe: The road ahead for the EOSC community and the Member States” that will take place on 20 June 2019 in Tallinn, Estonia.

The programme of this event was developed by eInfraCentral in consultation with other EOSC-related projects such as EOSC-hub and EOSCsecretariat.eu. 

TNC19, the 35th edition of the largest and most prestigious European research and education networking conference, will take place in Tallin, from the 16th to the 20th of June 2019.

EOSC-hub, one of the key European Open Science Cloud projects, is organizing a webinar to introduce the EOSC Early Adopter Programme on 29 May 2019, 10AM CET and answer questions from those interested in applying.

SSHOC WP4 Workshop: Developing the SSHOC Reference Ontology (Task 4.7)

The DARIAH Annual Event 2019 thematizes a catalogue of research questions that arise when we speak of Humanities Data. At the very heart of this topic linger questions around the type and amount of data that humanists collect: what kind of data do we have; where is it; and who owns it? Is our data indeed complex, and if so, what makes it complex? How do definitions and conceptualisations of the term ‘data’ resonate with or, perhaps more accurately, alienate us from our conceptions of our source landscape as art and humanities scholars? And, of course, how will the major European policy initiative to build an Open Science Cloud for research data impact our practices and opportunities?  

The aim of the workshop is to present the Data Management Expert Guide (DMEG), with an emphasis on new materials around RDM, GDPR and Data Discovery. The guide was prepared by CESSDA-ERIC Service providers. CESSDA data management experts will train participants in how to use the developed materials in the delivery of training to their researchers. The training event is designed interactively and includes hands-on exercises.

OpenAIRE, RDA Europe, FAIRsFAIR and EOSC-hub are holding a series of three workshops, two in April and one in September, called ‘Services to Support FAIR Data’.

After the success of the first workshop at the EOSC-hub Week 2019 in Prague, SSHOC will also be present during the second session of the event "Linking Open Science in Austria", taking place in Vienna on the 24th and 25th of May.
