SUMMARY:Fellowship of the Data – International RDM Community Meeting 2026
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe Fellowship of the Data — International RDM Community Meeting 2026 will take place on September 21 and 22 at the University of Vienna. Two Meetings have taken place in Germany already (2023 and 2025) with each ca. 80 participants from diverse backgrounds. Now\, we continue the series: Let’s get together in Vienna and cultivate our supportive environment dedicated to the advancement of RDM! \nContinuing the spirit of 2025: “The Fellowship of the Data is fueled by enthusiasm for Research Data Management (RDM) and networking. Founded by RDM trainers and data stewards\, we want to offer an open space for everyone with aligned interests that fosters our community bonds and allows us to find peers from many different contexts and scientific disciplines. We believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing. By exchanging resources\, learning from each other’s experiences\, and forging synergistic teams\, we can learn how to better support researchers and stakeholders alike”. \nThe goal of our third RDM Community Meeting is to boost the fellowship of like-minded professionals who assist researchers across various fields in their RDM efforts\, whether through training or other means. Keynotes and times for focused exchange were selected carefully to provide us with a program full of relevant and engaging content. \nWe are excited to learn from our international keynote speakers and to take home practical insights to improve our portfolio! \nAgenda Summary\nWe offer opportunities for exchange on and exploration of topics around RDM support along with poster sessions as well as keynotes and a panel discussion chosen to instigate further reflection and networking. \n\nDay 0: Pre-Event Socializing\nDay 1: Lobbying\, Negotiation\, and Shared RDM Services + Posters\nDay 2: Burnout Prevention\, 3 parallel Workshops\, Panel\n\nEvery Day: Fun! \nTarget Audience\nEveryone who is (interested in) supporting and promoting Research Data Management! \n\nWe invite everyone who is involved with RDM training\, supporting researchers in their RDM\, has a position called Data Steward\, Data Manager\, Data Curator\, RDM Professional\, RDM Officer\, or all the other titles the community encompasses.\nEveryone who is interested in the job(s) of this field and our agenda is also very welcome.\n\nAll disciplines welcome! \n\nOur programme is tiered towards everyone who supports / promotes RDM for scientists and researchers from all disciplines.\n\nInternational \n\nWe aim to foster exchange across borders.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Open Research Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Good Research is Open Research – so what’s stopping us from making research more open? Join the conversation at Edinburgh Open Research Conference 2026 \nFull Programme – https://library.ed.ac.uk/research-support/eorc2026/programme \nThis one day conference provides an opportunity for all individuals interested in making research more open and accessible to come together to discuss their challenges\, success stories\, and next steps. \nThe ambitious “Recommendation on Open Science” produced by UNESCO recognises the broad scope and impact of Open Research – not just on knowledge production\, but also on the world at large. Built around the values of Quality and Integrity\, Collective Benefit\, Equity and Fairness\, and Diversity and Inclusion\, the model provides a foundation for a strategic and principled path forward. Over the past year we have begun revamping our action plan and internal model at the University of Edinburgh to reflect this ambitious and expansive scope. \nOur new action plan is more diverse and expansive than ever before\, and our strategies will build upon this new perspective\, taking into account our local context. To celebrate this positive step forward\, this year’s conference will therefore delve into the various values\, principles\, and actions highlighted by UNESCO’s model. \nJoin the conversation in person in 50 George Square\, University of Edinburgh or Online. Our sessions will explore the general principles of Open Research as described in our new action plan\, but also zoom in on specific areas\, as identified within UNESCO’s model. \nTickets can be booked on the Eventbrite pages: \nFor IN-PERSON attendance: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/edinburgh-open-research-conference-2026-in-person-tickets-1985574269089 \nTo join ONLINE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/edinburgh-open-research-conference-2026-online-tickets-1986986380753

SUMMARY:EOSC EDEN project: Seminar on Digital Preservation
DESCRIPTION:The EOSC EDEN project\, an EU-funded initiative\, is continuing its webinar series to share key results and insights from its work on advancing digital preservation strategies across Europe. At the heart of EOSC EDEN lies the ambition to develop a framework for identifying research data that should be prioritised for long-term digital preservation at both European and national levels. \nIn this fourth seminar\, we will present the findings from the survey run by EOSC EDEN between May and July 2025. The survey investigated current practices in digital preservation\, and the guidance documents that inform these practices. Survey questions interrogated long-term preservation across different domains and organisation types\, and identified issues that potentially affect how preservation and the findability\, accessibility\, interoperability\, and reusability of digital data objects may change over time. \nA detailed report on the survey and its findings has been published in the EOSC EDEN Zenodo Community. \nIf you are interested in digital preservation and want to learn more about EOSC EDEN’s latest work\, we warmly invite you to join us: \nThis event is aimed at: Digital preservation practitioners\, managers and trainers; digital archivists; data curators; and researchers working on data curation and preservation.

SUMMARY:Trusted Research for Repository/Data Managers
DESCRIPTION:Trusted Research supports the integrity of the system of international research collaboration\, which is vital to the continued success of the UK’s research and innovation sector.\n\n\n\nInternational research is vulnerable to misuse by organisations\, institutions and individuals who operate on behalf of nations that seek to undermine the prevailing system of international research collaboration. Trusted Research seeks to protect that system from being undermined by those who might seek to abuse the principles of open science and academic freedom for their own gain. \nTrusted Research is a joint National Protective Security Authority NPSA and National Cyber Security Centre NCSC campaign\, developed with academic institutions and endorsed by key bodies within the sector. It helps the UK’s world-leading academic sector continue to get the most out of international scientific collaboration whilst protecting intellectual property\, sensitive research and personal information from potential theft\, misuse\, or exploitation. It is run collaboratively with the sector and supports self-regulation and sector identification and ownership of risk. \nAll attendees must sign up with an institutional email address – any sign-ups via personal emails will be cancelled. \nPlease note: \n\nNo recording\, screenshots\, transcription\, AI assistants etc throughout the webinar.\nAll attendees should be physically located in the UK at the time of the webinar.\nNPSA/NCSC cameras will be off for the duration of the webinar.\nNo material presented will be shared with attendees post webinar\, but please see the NPSA and NCSC websites for information and resources.
