In this workshop, we discussed the European legal framework for data privacy and processing personal data (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). The workshop helped participants understand how their research is affected by the GDPR and what issues to pay attention to.

The Ethnic and Migrant Minority (EMM) Survey Registry — co-created by COST Action 16111-ETHMIGSURVEYDATA, the H2020 SSHOC project, and the ANR FAIRETHMIGQUANT project — is a free online tool for discovering and learning about existing quantitative surveys undertaken with EMM (sub)populations in Europe and beyond.

In this workshop, the group of researchers will focus on the comparison of parliamentary debates before and during Covid pandemic across Europe from a linguistic, sociological, politological and/or computational perspective. The group’s objective will be to learn how to use comparable parliamentary corpora from various European countries that are annotated with metadata, such as speaker and session information, and linguistic annotations, such as morphosyntactic and named entity tags, for studying societal issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

FAIR data are the pillar of Open Science which is at the core of the SSHOC project. In order to ensure findability of data and other resources, it is crucial to provide easy-to-use recommendations for data citation in the SSH domains.

The CoP is an informal pan-European network for training coordinators in research and e-infrastructures, EOSC-related initiatives and projects. (https://www.openaire.eu/cop-training). The SSHOC training community is a community of trainers active in the Social Sciences and Humanities exchanging good training practices whereas the CoP is more a community of coordinators in training. Of course there is an overlap of activities and people in both communities.

"Well why don't we crowdsource it?!"

Easy enough to suggest in the face of a complex task but in reality, crowdsourcing and citizen science projects are highly complex and require significant resources in order to succeed.

An opportunity for researchers and students from computer science, data science, and the humanities and social sciences to work in an interdisciplinary team and explore ways to solve concrete research questions on the WageIndicator Collective Agreements Database.
