With input of Ellen Leenarts and Rahul Thorat, DANS
EOSCpilot All Hands Meeting
9 March 2018, Pisa

2. WP 7 organised three workshops
Building Data Stewardship Expertise in Europe: How can we fill the gaps? EOSCpilot Skills Session at the EOSC Stakeholder Forum in Brussels, 28 Nov 2017
The EOSC as a “skills commons” providing FAIR training for FAIR data stewardship, co-located event at EUDAT Conference "Putting the EOSC vision into practice”, Porto, 25 Jan 2018
The EOSC as a “skills commons” for developing research data stewardship skills at scale, at IDCC 18 "Beyond FAIR - from principles to practice to global join up”, Barcelona, 19 Feb 2018

3. Methodology of the workshops
Three flash presentations
Real time Online Poll with the attendees (workshop 2 and 3)
Three breakout groups with consultations
Concluding discussion

4. Goal of the workshops EOSCpilot skills framework and skills gaps
Discussion about:
EOSCpilot skills framework and skills gaps
Cataloguing of training materials and services
FAIR criteria for training materials and services
External-internal liaison of the work
D7.4. Report on Training Workshops, November 2018

5. Results from consultations
1. How can EOSC support research training providers to contribute to international level training infrastructure?
Two Tier Approach
Catalogue of training resources
Link to other project training & skills WPs
Tier-1 : Core skills and training topics,
Tier-2 : Domain specific and specialised skills and training topics
By playing central coordinating role in harvesting training information;
Extending FAIR principles to training resources;
Performing quality assurance, certification of providers, or badging of content in a central catalogue of training materials and events
EOSChub, OpenAIRE Advance,
RDA workgroup results

6. Results from consultations
2. How can EOSC assist research performing organisations to develop the competences and capabilities for open data science?
Train the Trainer approach
Increasing findability (part of FAIR)
Training catalogue highly desirable, from user perspective
Providing FAIR guidance to researchers
Events and materials on trainings skills
Networking with other trainers
Training materials on all relevant competences
Training materials to EOSC services
Two scenario’s: i. user perspective (as a researcher you want to find the most relevant courses), and ii. a ‘machine-interoperable perspective’ (so training can be found by IT services looking for it)
Via a marketplace of IT and soft services, offering information on training across Europe

7. Results of the consultation
3. How can EOSC coordinate national-level policies, strategies and reward mechanisms to stimulate open research data practices?
Data Management Plan
Best practices
Data Policy
Training
Funder mandate DMP
Standardising DMP templates, e.g. domain specific
EOSC repository for best practices: e.g., open research data policy, infrastructural development, research collaboration, data sharing and skills development
By involving stakeholders for open data research policy and implementing cross e-infras and RIs communication;
Institutional data policy for backup during the research;
Carrot approach: rewarding data producers
More action, more structure in the mapping competences;
Providing career perspectives for data professionals

8. What should be EOSCs priorities for skills development?
EUDAT
IDCC

9. Catalogue of provision of training
to provide a catalogue: FAIR data principles for training materials and events
EOSC training materials and events must be FAIR, i.e. materials and event descriptions must be provided with standard metadata to make them findable, they must be accessible from EOSC e-infrastructures, they must be in open standard formats so they are interoperable with each other and with the data services they are about, and they must be provided on license terms that are as non- restrictive as possible to encourage reuse. (EOSCpilot, D7.1, p. 10)

10. EOSCpilot poll FAIR training materials
Results from the EUDAT conference in January 2018
Results from the IDCC conference in February 2018

11. Train the trainer: Mentimeter IDCC

12. Forms of skills resource Mentimeter IDCC28 27

13. Connecting with training WPs in other EOSC projects
In the last 2 workshops the Training Components of OpenAIRE-Advance and EOSC-hub were presented
both started 1 January 2018 – end December 2020
both have a strong training component
will work together on overlapping topics: e.g.
Support Data Management Plan – EOSC-hub working with the NOADS of OAA
Webinars: generic and discipline specific

14. EOSC Training as a Service
EOSC Training as a Service : provide a comprehensive collection of training materials and events with regards to the EOSCpilot Competence Framework and EOSC service portfolio
EOSC users: find most relevant training materials and events
EOSC trainers: find, reuse and attribute materials, scale up number of training events
The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no

15. Your comment on Training as a Service
By playing central coordinating role in harvesting training information: there is a wide range of resources already available, and a large number of relevant portals including FOSTER, EDISON, and more discipline-specific outlets from the Research Infrastructures;
Extending FAIR principles to training resources;
Performing quality assurance, certification of providers, or badging of content in a central catalogue of training materials and events
Comments from other WPs on the proposals for training-as-a-service and the infrastructure for that - how will this relate to the service portfolio and catalogue?
How does the work in your WP relates to skills/training: e.g. EOSC policy on skills – what does this imply for wp7? 
What do you think of the applicability of FAIR principles to training/learning resources?
