Summary

Join us for the CESSDA webinar "Dataverse Customisation for Repository Managers: Practical Insights from AUSSDA and DASSI" on 10 December 2026, from 14:00 to 15:00 CET.

Description

Lorenz Makula (AUSSDA) and Domingo Scisci (DASSI) will share hands-on experience from their respective installations and show how institutional requirements can be met with different levels of technical effort – from customisations you can make yourself to those requiring IT support.

What to expect:

• Dataset templates and collection settings (live demo)
• Institutional customisations: menus, content and automated system emails
• Metadata modifications using metadata blocks and TSV definitions (live demo)
• Branding, custom CSS, footers and usage analytics
• A Docker-based environment for testing customisations before deploying them to production
• Q&A and discussion, with questions welcome in the chat throughout the webinar

The webinar is aimed at repository managers and anyone responsible for managing or customising a Dataverse installation. No programming knowledge is required.
