After registering, you will receive a confirmation email. The day and an hour before your selected webinar you will be sent a reminder email and the link to the webinar platform. The webinars will last an hour with time for questions with the exception of the “Open Science tools: demo and discussion” which will leave more time for discussion. Most webinars will be recorded.

Can’t make it? No problem! The sessions will also be recorded, with the exception of the “Open Science tools: demo and discussion” webinar, and be posted here after the event.

(subject to change)

Webinar 1: SKIILLS DEVELOPTMENT FOR OPEN SCIENCE - Tuesday 20/10/2020 - 10.30-11.30 

  • EOSC – skills and training working group – Sadia Van Cauwenberg (EOSC, UHasselt)

The “Skills and Training” working group will work on building competence (skills) and capabilities (training) for EOSC. The goal is to provide a framework for a sustainable training infrastructure to support EOSC in all its phases and ensure its uptake.

  • Data stewards catalogue of EOSC Pillar– Paula Oset Garcia (UGent)

The EOSC-Pillar project gathers experience from national initiatives for coordinating data infrastructures and services. To facilitate Open Data they are developing a handbook with advice on how to support researchers with data management in the different phases of research using a multi-layered approach

  • Sharing Open Data – Veerle Van den Eynden (KULeuven)

Ms. Van den Eynden provides expertise, guidance and training on data management and data sharing to researchers. As an expert on data management, data sharing and data integration she will share insights on how to promote good data practices and optimize data sharing.

Webinar 2: TRAINING FOR DATA MANAGEMENT PLANNING - Tuesday 20/10/2020 - 12.00-13.00

  • DMP training and DMPonline – Dragana Petrovic (ULB)

DMPonline.be is a consortium that provides an online tool for Data management planning.  The tool helps write and maintain data management plans for researchers. For research support staff, it is both a handy tool to hand researchers and an opportunity to gather more information on how research data management is conducted and what the gaps are in knowledge. 

  • Ways to teach about DMP – Niek Van Wettere (VUB)

Managing and sharing research data as openly as possible is one of the principles of good scientific practice. A DMP can be a useful tool to achieve this goal. But to compose a good DMP can be quite the endeavor, how can we train researchers and support staff to better understand and complete DMPs? 

  • DMP review Rubrics – Myrima Mertens (UGent)

Data management planning of some form has been accepted good practice for many years as a means to ensure that data outputs are managed appropriately. With the rise of data management plans, question on how to evaluate the work has risen. A practical tool is found in DMP review rubrics to evaluate plans against a range of different funder requirements to gain practical experience that can aid in providing support services.

Webinar 3: OPEN SCIENCE TOOLS: DEMO AND DISCUSSION - Thursday 22/10/2020 - 10.00-11.30 

This webinar will focus on discussing open science tools, their use, opportunities and drawbacks. Tools discussed will be: Open Science Framework (from a Data steward perspective), UnpaywallSherpa services, ‘Open Research Europe’ (ORE) platform and the OpenAIRE Provide dashboard. Short demo’s will be followed with ample time for discussion. 

Webinar 4: OPEN SCIENCE ACCELERATING? COVID 19 EXAMPLES - Thursday 22/10/2020 - 12.00-13.00 

  • Accelerate access to research findings and data relevant to COVID-19 – David Carr (Wellcome Trust)

Wellcome Trust’s called on researchers, journals and funders for rapid sharing of data and findings. Mr. Carr will talk about the joint statement, signed by many funders, publishers, research institutions, and associated work to accelerate access to research findings and data relevant to COVID-19. https://wellcome.ac.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/open-data  

  • Open Science accelerating during a pandemic – Bronwen Martin (University of Antwerp)

Bronwen Martin is working at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences (FBD) as Scientific Editor and Research Communicator. She strongly believes that to understand a highly complex biological phenomenon such as aging, Open Science is necessary so that we can use machine learning to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. COVID19 is an example that demonstrates how Open Science has accelerated research in this field.
