Train-the-Trainer RDM Bootcamp

Date: 08 to 11 February 2021 Location: Online

The SSHOC project and DARIAH-ERIC announce an interactive bootcamp for trainers, data supporters, librarians and data stewards in the humanities and social sciences who provide training in the field of Research Data Management.

Highlights

Participants received expert training from leading practitioners and trainers in the field of Research Data Management, and had the opportunity to specialise in a key area of interest and also to receive peer feedback on an assignment to be completed between sessions. The second session concluded with a plenary session focusing on Research Data Management didactics.

Course Structure

Day 1 introduced three topics from which participants can then choose a specialisation:

• Planning to meet the costs of managing research data to be FAIR
• GDPR and Ethical issues in working with social media data,
• Dealing with third-party data coming from Cultural Heritage institutions (galleries, museums, libraries, archives)

Participants received a ‘homework assignment’ in their chosen subject area.

On Day 2 participants discussed their completed assignments and attended a plenary session on didactics.
