EOSC Fidelis: Data Reuse Workshops
Summary
In this series of training workshops, we explore a series of aspects related to data reusability; 1) cultural & educational, 2) legal & ethical, and 3) technical. Through a series of talks from invited speakers and guided discussions, we consider how data professionals can better support and collaborate with researchers in research data management, and help them overcome (perceived) barriers to sharing and reuse of data.
Description
Data Reuse Workshop (First Meeting)
Overcoming (perceived) barriers to reuse of research data: Cultural and educational aspects
Date & Time : 25th of February, 09:15-11:00 CET
Description:
In this training worskhop, we consider some cultural and educational aspects of data reusability. Through a series of talks and guided discussions we consider how data professionals are supporting and collaborating with researchers in research data management and sharing. We consider what repositories should be (better) aware of regarding the challenges and opportunities that researchers face around data sharing, reproducibility and reuse, including driving forces in the research communities.

Data Reuse Workshop (Second Meeting)
Overcoming (perceived) barriers to reuse of research data: Legal and ethical aspects
Date & Time : 25th of February, 11:30-13:15 CET
Description: In this training workshop, we consider some legal and ethical aspects of data reusability. Through a series of talks and guided discussions we consider how data professionals are supporting and collaborating with researchers in research data management and sharing, including support with the CARE Principles. We consider what repositories should be (better) aware of regarding the challenges that researchers face around data ownership and ethical challenges, both as data depositors and potential data reusers. We look at what current projects are working on that aim to better inform researchers about how data has been used or can be (re)used, including more complex data access and reuse conditions.

| 13:10 | Wrap up and conclusions | Deborah Thorpe, DANS, The Netherlands |
Data Reuse Workshop (Third Meeting)
Overcoming (perceived) barriers to reuse of research data: Technical aspects
Date & Time : 25th of February, 13:45-15:30 CET
Description: In this training webinar, we consider some technical aspects around data reusability. We take a particular focus on several important elements of data management that are crucial for data reuse: metadata, data documentation, and data citation. The event presents the perspectives of specialists who are developing tools to encourage the creation of rich and complete metadata, supporting data documentation, and tracking data impact through citation practices.
