Skills4EOSC

Skills4EOSC Course on FAIR-by-Design Methodology for the CLARIN Community Online Training – Sessions on 20 and 26 September 2024 Skills4EOSC is excited to announce a new training course on the **FAIR-by-Design Methodology** for members of the CLARIN community. This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to integrate FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles into the design and development of learning materials. Event Details  The course will be held in two separate sessions, each focusing on different aspects of the FAIR-by-Design Methodology: - Session 1: 20 September 2024, 14:00 - 18:00 CEST. Register here:(https://lnkd.in/dj2s6shK) - Session 2: 26 September 2024, 14:00 - 17:00 CEST. Register here:(https://lnkd.in/d_GF8PGD) Please note that registration is coordinated by CLARIN-IT, and participants can choose to register for one or both sessions. Course Overview The training introduces a structured approach to embedding FAIR principles into the instructional design process, ensuring that learning materials are not only well-designed but also discoverable, accessible, and reusable by a broader audience. Participants will explore various stages of the **FAIR-by-Design workflow**, from preparation and design to publication and continuous improvement. Key Learning Objectives: - Gain a deep understanding of the FAIR-by-Design approach and how it applies to the development of learning materials. - Explore practical techniques for creating FAIR-aligned educational resources. - Discuss real-world applications of FAIR principles in training material development. Target Audience: This course is aimed at instructional designers, training workflows and infrastructure managers, and anyone in the CLARIN network involved in developing training materials. The sessions are also open to anyone with an interest in learning more about the FAIR principles. Session Details: - Session 1 (20 September): Focus on the design and development stages of FAIR training materials, including metadata, multimedia integration, and attribution practices.    - Session 2 (26 September): Emphasis on long-term curation, publication, and quality assurance, including version control and recognition frameworks like Open Badges. For more information or questions, feel free to contact the organisers at training@clarin.eu.

If you missed the session on #OpenScience, #ResearchDataManagement, and Evidence-Based #CivilProtection Decision-Making at the #EUCivilProtectionsForum2024 last Wednesday, here are a few highlights. You can also watch the recording on youtube: https://lnkd.in/de9a4BZf Research Data Management is a process which requires resources (human, financial, technological), skills and a governance which includes legal and ethical issues (data policies, access rules, impartiality for public good). Research Organizations and scientific communities are committed to govern #FAIR data management. Shaping a disaster-resilient society requires a robust knowledge network that relies on research data, expertise, and robust experiences to support #EvidenceBasedDecisionMaking (#EBDM). Open Science represents the cultural environment to feed knowledge with high-quality data, scientific information and research organisations committed to govern research data management. For disaster management, it is critical to enable a trusted environment. Providing research data to decision making requires including uncertainty of data or scientific products, whenever it is possible. Here, Open Science frameworks support recognition of the authoritative role of experts and trust in informed decision making. To be more disaster-resilient, the EU needs not only its #ScientificCommunity but a collaboration of all involved stakeholders: policymakers, scientists, and civil protection. This includes also the private sector and #AI and cloud providers but with some caveats. In particular, for all its wonders AI cannot be seen as a shortcut to new knowledge or something to rely on for making decisions, but as a useful tool to augment data and a valuable tool assisting the decision maker. It is important to recognise that #EBDM is done in an existing and complex formalised framework and we need trusted relationships between scientists and politicians - and ultimately with the whole society. Public decision-makers rely on authoritative data and research expertise for interpretation, yet they must not influence researchers' scientific freedom and support it as a source of trusted, unbiased information. This independence, openness, data lineage and traceability is the best antidote to fake news and conspiracy theories, and the key to public trust in science. Access to research data fostering knowledge used in #EBDM is part of existing protocols/frameworks established by policy makers. Transparency, impartiality for public good, dissemination of scientific information and promotion of awareness and preparedness of society is the challenge to be tackled to create trust and increase resilience, and Open Science is a significant element to address this challenge. #OpenAccess #ResearchData #RDM #KnowledgeTranslation #KnowledgeToAction #Science4Policy #DisasterRiskManagement #DRM #Science4Society #ScienceImpact #ECPF #CivilProtectionsForum #EOSC
