FIDELIS Data Reuse Workshop #3
In this third training workshop, we consider some technical aspects around data reusability. We take a particular focus on several important elements of data management that are crucial for data reuse: metadata, data documentation, and data citation. The event presents the perspectives of specialists who are developing tools to encourage the creation of rich and complete metadata, supporting data documentation, and tracking data impact through citation practices.

FIDELIS Data Reuse Workshop #2 – Overcoming (perceived) barriers to reuse of research data: Legal and ethical aspects
In this second training workshop, we consider some legal and ethical aspects of data reusability. Through a series of talks and guided discussions we consider how data professionals are supporting and collaborating with researchers in research data management and sharing, including support with the CARE Principles. We consider what repositories should be (better) aware of regarding the challenges that researchers face around data ownership and ethical challenges, both as data depositors and potential data reusers. We look at what current projects are working on that aim to better inform researchers about how data has been used or can be (re)used, including more complex data access and reuse conditions.

ELIXIR-UK RDM Club: Open and sustainable AI – models and datasets as key assets
The UK RDM club (run by our wonderful project partners ELIXIR-UK) is a monthly meeting held over zoom on the first Tuesday of every month, with a focus on ELIXIR-UK activities that help people manage their life science research data. They welcome participation from data stewards, support staff and researchers interested in Research Data Management (RDM) in the life sciences. In this RDM Club Call, Gavin Farrell (ELIXIR Ireland), a contributor to ELIXIR’s AI Ecosystem Focus Group work, will introduce the concept of Open and Sustainable AI (OSAI). Grounded in the ELIXIR Europe Machine Learning Focus Group work that culminated in the 2025 preprint Open and Sustainable AI: challenges, opportunities and the road ahead in the life sciences, the talk presents nine OSAI guidelines for ensuring AI datasets and models can be reused and reproduced while also supporting environmental sustainability.

UKeIG Online CPD course ‘Research Data Management for information professionals – from researcher need to effective service
To fulfill the role of supporting Research Data Management (RDM) librarians need to build an understanding of the policy context in which managing data has become important and gain a good grasp of researchers’ activities, motives, perceptions and feelings around their research and their data. This online course explains the need for research data services, how to find out about users and their needs and then how to apply this knowledge to create a portfolio of research data services that they will want to use.
