• FAIR Data Fund Spring call: Meet the grantees

Con­grat­u­la­tions to Uni­ver­si­ty of Twente researchers:
 Frank Halfw­erk, Michelle Kip, Ria Wolko­rte, João Mor­eira and Thomas Groen;
and, to Delft Uni­ver­si­ty of Tech­nol­o­gy researchers:
 Claudiu For­gaci and Pavlo Bazilin­skyy on their suc­cess­ful FAIR Data Fund appli­ca­tions!

Meet the Spring Call grantees and learn more about their FAIR data refine­ment plans. 

4TU.ResearchData’s FAIR Data Fund offers researchers an oppor­tu­ni­ty to apply for finan­cial aid to cov­er the costs of mak­ing their data Find­able, Acces­si­ble, Inter­op­er­a­ble and Reusable (The FAIR prin­ci­ples).

• A tes­ti­mo­ni­al from Gior­dano Lipari

Envi­ron­men­tal and com­pu­ta­tion­al hydro­dy­nam­ics researcher, Gior­dano Lipari, expressed his grat­i­tude for the sup­port he received from tech­ni­cal staff at 4TU.ResearchData when upload­ing large datasets to the repos­i­to­ry. 

Gior­dano pub­lished a 735 GB data col­lec­tion of five datasets con­tain­ing 1650 files that were cre­at­ed dur­ing a post-doc­tor­al project at TU Delft.

Take a look at Giordano’s data and tes­ti­mo­ni­al. 

• Inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research data: Chal­lenges and obser­va­tions from a data stew­ards per­spec­tive

At the recent Research Data Alliance (RDA) 17th Ple­nary meet­ing, Yan Wang, Inna Kouper, Eva Mén­dez and Con­nie Clare co-chaired a Bird of a Feath­er (BOF) ses­sion about the Chal­lenges of Curat­ing Data from Inter­dis­ci­pli­nary and Col­lab­o­ra­tive Research. 

Read Yan’s ses­sion sum­ma­ry to learn more about inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research, it’s added val­ue and the data man­age­ment chal­lenges it presents for researchers and research sup­port pro­fes­sion­als.

4TU.ResearchData’s first com­mu­ni­ty call

Last month, we host­ed our first com­mu­ni­ty call based on the theme, ‘Build­ing a Cul­ture of Col­lab­o­ra­tion’.

We cel­e­brat­ed six months of the 4TU.ResearchData Com­mu­ni­ty and learned about ‘Build­ing Open Com­mu­ni­ties of Col­lab­o­ra­tion’ from The Tur­ing Way Com­mu­ni­ty Lead, Malvi­ka Sha­ran.

Watch the record­ing & read our post-event sur­vey sum­ma­ry.

Join the DCC The­mat­ic Ses­sion!

The Uni­ver­si­ty of Twen­te’s next DCC The­mat­ic ses­sion: ‘What to do with the data after your research?’ takes place on 31st May.

Reg­is­ter now!

Join us in the Open Sci­ence Kitchen!

The next Open Sci­ence Kitchen event organ­ised by the Open Sci­ence Com­mu­ni­ty Twente will focus on ‘Engag­ing soci­ety: How pub­lic out­reach meets Open Sci­ence’. 

Join us on June 24th at 14:00 using this meet­ing link.
