Tools for Data FAIRification – overcoming barriers in data discoverability and reuse
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by barriers to making data FAIR, but when you realise that others have had the same problems AND have solutions, life feels much better! Holly Ranger and the N8 CIR group have organised an online seminar titled “Tools for Data FAIRification – overcoming barriers in data discoverability and reuse” will take place on Tuesday, 23 June from 13:00–15:00 (BST) with a focus on practical tools and approaches to improve how research data is managed, shared, and reused in line with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Four separate speakers will share their stories and present the solutions they have found to improve their practices.

ORCID for Researchers webinar
The UK ORCID consortium is running a webinar to promote ORCID more widely across the UK. It is open to all, so you do not need to be a member of the consortium to attend. Find out why getting a free ORCID iD and populating your ORCID record is key for researchers to get credit for their work. ORCID is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. Obtaining an ORCID iD and populating your profile helps achieve the vision where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.

Jisc Digital Research Community June Meetup: The people who make Digital Research Infrastructure work
Digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTPs) are a crucial part of the computational research community, and a corner stone of Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI). This session will talk about what dRTPs are, where they come from, and what they do, and then present some UKRI-funded DRI projects which provide events and funding for dRTPs and people who are interested in engaging with this space. Come prepared to ask questions and join in discussions! In this meet-up, we’ll hear from Dr Marion Weinzierl, Principal Research Software Engineer at the Institute of Computing for Climate Science at the University of Cambridge, in her role in the Computational Abilities Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) project https://www.cake.ac.uk/.  There will also be representatives from several dRTP related projects.

EOSC EDEN project: Seminar on Digital Preservation
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. In 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.
