Monthly Round-up: May 2021
May’s round-up from 4TU.ResearchData introduces our FAIR Data Fund Spring Call grantees, a new ‘testimonials’ page and a re-cap of our first community call event!
News
- 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.

Events
What did we get up to this month?
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.
